Father, give me the power to fight
Father, give me a shield and a light
Strong is the knight who can spare his adversary
Father, give me a sword and a heart

Dark is this hour and gone is the sun
In candlelight I kneel to You as a son
Revenge and anger both linger in my heart
Father, give me a soul to forgive

Hate and revenge light my soul
Fire and rage burn me with pain
I’ve come a long way to forget it all
But still it burns deep inside me
Fire, leave me

I need your love, I need your power
I need your blessings (to) carry on regardless
I need your hand, I need your armour
I need your breath (to) make me stronger
Anger, leave my soul


Father, give me the power to fight
Father, give me a shield and a light
Strong is the knight who can spare his adversary
Father, give me a sword and a heart

Dark is this hour and gone is the sun
In candlelight I kneel to You as a son
Revenge and anger both linger in my heart
Father, give me a soul to forgive

Father, give me the power to fight
Father, give me a shield and a light
Strong is the knight who can spare his adversary
Father, give me a sword and a heart

Dark is this hour and gone is the sun
In candlelight I kneel to You as a son
Revenge and anger both linger in my heart
Father, give me a soul to forgive

Three years have now gone by
Three years of hard toil
Shield and blade I handle
Horse I can now ride
Mace to dismantle
Horse fast like lightning
Like a strong warrior
All I need now is a heart

Fire or water, give me your blessings
Careless or lover, give me my heading
Don’t keep me waiting, burning is my soul
Give me an answer, give me a sign made of light
Light my soul

Father, give me the power to fight
Father, give me a shield and a light
Strong is the knight who can spare his adversary
Father, give me a sword and a heart

Dark is this hour and gone is the sun
In candlelight I kneel to You as a son
Revenge and anger both linger in my heart
Father, give me a soul to forgive

Dawn will soon come and the light shall arise
From high in the sky it shall shine on a new knight
Lord, give me eyes to see and let live
Father, give me a soul to forgive
