Within Temptation

The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you to shield you
Or kill on demand
The choice he made he could not comprehend
His blood a grim secret they had to command
He's torn between his honour and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed who are the noble and the wise
Will all our sins be justified
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crowd was a sinister price
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He's torn between his honour and the true love of his life
