It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence, to be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope, to have what I once had
This life unforgiven, it will end with a birth

No, will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first but I’m still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung

It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence, to be someone like me

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence, to be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope, to have what I once had
This life unforgiven, it will end with a birth

Mandylion without a face, deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love, end of time, the rest is silence
Mandylion without a face, deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love, end of time, the rest is silence

It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence, to be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope, to have what I once had

It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence, to be someone like me
It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith
Oh, end of all hope
