Prodigal Son (I: Funerale / II: Burden of Shame / III: The Journey) Lyrics


I. Funerale

Essence of beauty

taken too soon.

Princess of hope,

deep in our hearts you live on.

Essence of goodness,

Godess of life.

Give us the power,

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,

Godess of life.

Give us the power,

God give us strength...

Give us the strength to live on!

II. Burden Of Shame

How could this happen,

of what have have 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.

Here by 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 death our secret remains.

Until death our love remains

and in death our love re-framed.

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.

The 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 blind

on the journey we call life.

Learning every day,

learning with every step.

Given love or given hate

determines everybody's fate in life.

Be careful what you give!

A 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 every day,

learning with every step.

Given love or given hate

determines everybody's fate in life.

Be careful what you give!
