[Part I: Funerale]Essence of beautyTaken to soonPrincess of hopeDeep in our hearts you live onEssence of goodnessGoddess of lightGive us the powerGod gave us strength to live onEssence of beautyTaken too soonPrincess of hopeDeep in our hearts you live onEssence of goodnessGoddess of lightGive us the powerGod gave us strengthGive us the strength to live on[Part II: Burden of Guilt](How could this happenWhat have we done)How could this happen?Oh, what have we done?Will our tears ever pay for our sin?Mother forgive usWe need all your loveTo fight and to carry the burden of shameHereby we swear that for as long as we liveWe will not soil our nameThe truth made of ironWill see it with pain until deathOur secret remainsUntil death our love remainsAnd in death our love re-framedI need a wayBut worlds unwindLovers in bloodNow divided in heart[Part III: The Journey]My grief and sorrow always tryingTo repayBehind the palisadeThis is destined lifeMusic and the tears I hear you sayThrough the wallsTurns to nightmares and there's no escape at allOh joyful childhoodYou died so youngEvery child follows blindOn the journey we call lifeLearn it every dayGiven love or given nameDetermines everybody's fate in lifeBe careful what you giveStranger to love and affectionOn the runIn search of shelter in the solitude of sinA drifter in the darkA soldier of the painA constant slave under the belt of miseryOh joyful childhoodYou died to youngEvery child follows blindOn the journey we call lifeLearn it every dayGiven love or given nameDetermines everybody's fate in lifeBe careful what you give
