To save my son
A hopeless choice to make
But who am I, if not the one who's meant to keep him safe?
Is trust and loyalty still justified
If I deny him of a better life?
Gabriel has always been
The strength I call upon
But nothing breaks
A father's will
To do what must be done
Should I turn my back on him
Abandon all our plans for revolution?
Where hope and freedom die by morning light
Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son
Destiny has shown its face, and now the time has come
Desperation blinds me
And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light
A better life is worth this sacrifice
Betrayed my blood To save my son A hopeless choice to make But who am I, if not the one who's meant to keep him safe? Is trust and loyalty still justified If I deny him of a better life? Gabriel has always been The strength I call upon But nothing breaks A father's will To do what must be done Should I turn my back on him Abandon all our plans for revolution? Where hope and freedom die by morning light Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son Destiny has shown its face, and now the time has come Desperation blinds me And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light A better life is worth this sacrifice Explain Request ×
