Lyrics Kamelot - Silverthorn - 11. Prodigal Son

Part I - Funerale

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

Essence of goodness
Godess of life
Give us the power/Give us the reason
God give us strength to live on

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

Essence of goodness
Godess of life
Give us the power/Give us the reason
God give us strength to live on

Part II - Burden of Shame

How could this happen?
Of what have we done?
Will our tears ever pay for our sin?

Mother give us
We need all your love
To fight and to carry
The burden of shame

(The branding)
Hereby we swear
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 secrets remains

Part III - The Journey

A minute away but worls/oceans apart
Borhters 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 everybodies 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 soldier
Of the pain
A constant slave under the belt of misery

Oh joyful childhood you died so young

On the journey we call life
Learning every day
(Learning with every step)
Given love or given hate
Determines everybodies fate in life
Be careful what you give...
