My child, my fleeting hour has come

There's no mercy for me, no pardon

Close my eyes, I know you're overcome

And I have failed to guard you.

Over mountains, through the meadows

You travelled far from home

By the hand of your father

I'm left, abandoned, alone.

Hear my voice, remember who cradled you

Who loved you and swore to guide you

Through the darkest hours of your life

Return to me, if only tonight.

Oh...

Hear my voice, remember who cradled you

Who loved you and swore to guide you

Through the darkest hours of your life

Return to me, my child

Let us reunite.
