Kamelot - Prodigal Son lyrics

Part I - Funerale Essence of beauty Taken too soon Princess of hope Deep in our hearts you live on Essence of goodness Goddess of life Give us the power/Give us a reason God give us strength to live on Essence of beauty Taken too soon Princess of hope Deep in our hearts you live on Essence of goodness Goddess of life Give us the power/Give us a reason God give us strength to live on Part II - Burden of Shame 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 (The branding) Hereby we swear that For as long as we live We will not soil our name The truth made of iron Will seal it with pain Until d**h our secret remains Until d**h our love remains And in d**h our love re-framed Part III - The Journey A minute away but worlds/oceans 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's no escape at all Oh joyful childhood you died so young... Every child follows blind On the journey we call life Learning everyday (Learning with every step) 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 blind On the journey we call life Learning everyday (Learning with every step) Given love or given hate Determines everybody's fate in life Be careful what you give...
