The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand
The choice he'd made he could not comprehend
His blood a grim secret they had to commend
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister price
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee, but the oath made him stay
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That's all they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

Review about Hand Of Sorrow It's a story | Reviewer: Ivkir | 11/10/09
Well, this song is great, and i also agreed that it has nothing to do with twilight... i write a story and this song is greatly fit in it... it like doubt of main hero, who asked himself "For what i do?" or "For what i have leave behind everything"... anyway - this song is great... this song can make people stop and think... and sorry for my english
Another Underworld Story... | Reviewer: GaaRA | 10/19/09
I love the story of this song...
I think I cna make a nice music video of this if I'll be in the West some years from now...XD
Although the lyrics of the demo version is really different; I was a little confused listening to the same song with different lyrics at first...XD
The twilight thing... haha... I don't think the story deserved this kind of song...
Those that write on Twilight rpg sites are even better than the original writer I think...
Songs are meant to paint a picture | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/09
As my title suggests, songs are meant to paint a picture, the story is whatever you want it to be, but the message is always the same. Whatever you imagine when you hear this song, it was meant for you to imagine it.
As for me, this songs reminds me of one of my roleplaying characters, and main character in a book I'm writing. Through betrayal and hatred in his youth, he grew up wanting nothing more than the death of all, until a special women opens up his heart, causing his own minions to turn on him, as well as being hunted by his enemies. He turns from being the villain against all, into being the hunted by all. And this story could be told in the eyes of the women he loved, that's what I see.
There is no right or wrong for what you envision when you listen to a song.
I do not know what it is actually about, but it sounds like maybe a master or overlord talking to an old fledgling. like he or she has grown and changed, but Is now forced to watch what he or she created. Either way it is a beautiful story.
This song is about what ever you want it to be | Reviewer: Illusion | 6/28/09
to me the story is more, orphan abandond at birth
grew up to be an assasin for the king
and loves someone he shouldnt. or something like that.
"It's not a MATTER OF OPINION when writer said in clear words what the song is about. It's about Fitz. If you'd read Farseer you would see it yourself, I recognized the storyline immediately and I am not even that big fan of the books. The Moonlight trype has nothing to do with it.
Some thing are objective, not subjective, and if the facts aren't what you want them to be, doesn't make them facts any less. You can imagine whatever you want while listening to the song anyway."
dude not neccisarily maybe that was the idea behind it
but it's not what the song is about
its about what ever you want it to be
for crying out loud
its a song thats beautiful stop arguing what its about
Hand of Sorrow | Reviewer: The Poet | 6/16/09
This song has nothing to do with Twilight. I love the story it tells and it's a fantastic song. I think this song has a plot of its own and that it's not based off of any movie or book. I also wouldn't say this song is a love story. I just can't find that idea in Hand of Sorrow. Personally, Twilight is overrated. I read it and thought it was okay.
OMG! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/13/09
I always thought this fit Anakin Skywalker too, mostly because I saw a video, but now, omg, this is Fitz!!!
I have only read the first two books, but it's perfect! I already loved this song, but now it's absolutely one of my favourite!!
I hadn't realized before!
The first time I heard this song, I didn't relate it to anything like Twilight or Farseer. It's a good enough song where you can create your own images and your own characters. It allows you to be creative with your mind. Who was the man and what was his name? Who was his lover? What was his curse? It's a brilliant song, wonderfully written and beautifully sung. I always love a good song...and a good story! =)
Tells a great story | Reviewer: Amanda | 5/30/09
I don't think this has anything to do with Twilight. I love the series...but this song isn't like that.
I'm actually planning to write a story based off this song. I could see everything that happens while listening to it. It's about a man, possibly abandonded at birth- hence, "the child without a name grew up to be the hand." He has some weird power, or curse, and he has killed many people; this reminds me of "the curse of his powers tormented his life."
But he's guilty for all the things he's done and the people he's killed. I think that can be concluded from the line, "he's torn between his honor and the truth about his life."
Overall, this is just a great song. I love it. :D Each of their songs tells a dramatic story if you listen close enough.
Tired of Twilight fans and haters alike | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/21/09
lol @ the Anonymous hater. The series is just as good and valid as mostly any average vampire romance. It just got Hollywood-fied and people hate it for that? Anyway, I don't think it has anything to do with Twilight and most of those people are just on the bandwagon...as are most of the haters who joined the hater bandwagon.
I saw this song in a FF7 amv about Vincent and it actually went along pretty well. Love WT and all their stories within songs.
