E minorEm
- Where have all the feelings gone?
E minorEm
- Why is it the deadliest sin
E minorEm
- To love as I loved you?
E minorEm
- Now unblessed, homesick in time
E minorEm
- Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
DmDm
- My tale is the most bitter truth:
DmDm
- Time pays us but with earth and dust
DmDm      G+G
- And a dark silent grave
DmDm
- Remember my child
DmDm    E minorEm
- Without innocence the cross is only iron
E minorEm
- Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's
E minorEm

- Nothing but a name
E minorEm   G+G
- The child bless thee and keep thee forever
