Part I: Funerale

Essence of Beauty
Taken to soon
Princess of hope
Deep in our hearts you live on

Essence of goodness
Godess of light
Give us the power/Give us a reason
God give us strength live on

Part II: Burden Of Shame

(How could this happen? What have we done?)

How could this happen? Oh, what have we done?
Will our tears ever pay for our sin?
Mother forgive us, we need all your love
To fight and to carry the burden of shame

Hereby we swear that for as long as we live
We will not soil our name
The truth made of iron will seal with pain
Until death our secret remains
Until death our love remains
And in death our love reframes

Part III: The Journey

A minute away but worlds apart
Brothers in blood, now divided in heart
By grief and sorrow one is striving, to repay
Behind the palisade he lives his destined life
Music and the tears are piercing through the walls
Turn to nightmares and there is no escape at all

Oh joyful childhood you died so young

Every child follows by on the journey we call life
Learning everyday
Given love or given hate, determines everybody's fate
In life
Be careful what you give

Stranger to love and affection on the run
In search of shelter in the solitude of sin
A drifter in the dark, a soldier of the pain
A constant slave under the belt of misery

Oh joyful childhood you died so young

Every child follows by on the journey we call life
Learning everyday
Given love or given hate determines everybody's fate
In life
Be careful what you give
