Oh the truth has arrived, it played out before my eyes

Twas ever so divine

Oh the son you could have been, salvation to a queen

These hollow hopes of mine, wide-eyed lies

My daughter, oh righteous English rose

Your spirit brings comfort to my soul

May you not be heiress to the throne and absolve me?

Why have you taken him from me?

Why has fate such ravenous teeth?

Oh thought these weary bones, no life echoes

I guess there is nowhere left to turn

My tale has been written, past bridges burned

Why am I forsaken to thee Lord? Oh, have remorse!

Why have you taken him from me?

Why has fate such ravenous teeth?

Oh thought these weary bones, no life echoes

Why have you taken him from me?

Why has fate such ravenous teeth?

Oh thought these weary bones, no life echoes

Oh you traitor! The angels have come to take you home

You were my saviour, but now there's no future in our song!

You were my saviour, my labour... oh!

You were my saviour, my saviour!

And now salvation's gone
