Lyrics

In the southern woods of a kingdom so small
A little baby which was born with a caul
The legend said if a woman would bear
We'd granted fortune and release from despair
Behold the quest is complete. good fortune will lead our way
Baptized the child will be ours for eternity
Who took my little boy just brought him into this world
God take good care of him. oh thy please let him live
Whispering. I'm taking what's mine
Withering. you're my fortune sign
My mouth was filled with slaughter and pain
Our tribe took fortune and fame
In my eyes the flames. a sense of delight. we ride into the
Violence and bloodshed. it doesn't feel right
I'm fooling myself in a way
Killing and raping. their blood on my hands
Something inside is telling me I don't belong here
Behold the quest is complete. good fortune will lead our way
Baptized the child will be ours for eternity
I took your little boy and brought him to my world
I take good care of him so you won't see him live
I miss my baby a child that was born
A mystery was here in my arms
Where is my baby I feel forlorn
This tragedy is tearing my heart. õ
As years passed by I grew up from child to man
In my heart and my soul. my strength will frighten my friends and foe
But my roots don't feel whole
The lady who took care of me so well
Our resemblance had to break the spell
As I saw mother and her child
I can't believe you're still so undefiled
Waited many years to hold you in my arms
I've lost and you've won. you may embrace your son
