The Courage to Forgive (Live) Rhapsody of Fire

[Verse 1]
(Ten... years... by... since... gone...)
Ten years gone by since you've gone
(I... hate... what... did...)
And I still hate what you did
(To my life... to my soul... father, why...)
To my life, to my soul, father why? Why? (...you, father?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ten years you wasted to shape your own son, to grow the perfect warrior
Ten stones on my back are crushing my bones, they're bending my spine
I'll get over it, I'll destroy my hate

[Chorus]
Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful
It's your duty, the contract says
"You have to forgive"

[Verse 2]
(Shades... dark... war... shield... sword...)
Shadows of the war, a shield, a sword
(Years... age... child... friends...)
Despite my young age they were my close friends
(And my hands... made to play...)
Despite my hands were made to play, I learned how to kill (father, why?)
But why? (you, father?)
