He looked within himself that day
There was a wound in his soul so deep and wide
In the wound a love he'd never known
From somewhere deep inside
With his bare hands he faced the Other
Alone against strength of a kind he could just understand
For the sword that cut him open
Was his son in the Other's hand

CHORUS:
Every day another miracle
Only death will tear us apart
Redemption of a villain's soul
Is in the love of an innocent heart
Love of an innocent heart

Long years cold was her protection
But the wound itself would give her power
The power to redeem herself
at the time of the darkest hour
The cold protected her from terror and pain
A kind of pain too long denied
In the wound a love she'd long forgot
From somewhere deep inside

CHORUS

Bells on the roof of a mighty tower
Silent in a runic rhyme
Bells on the roof of a mighty tower
But how can he ring them in time
The foes all surround him, their minds are too strong
He will not have the strength to fight them very long
Thinks of his daughter as a shield against the pain
And sets his eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain

CHORUS:
Every day another miracle
Only death will tear us apart
Redemption of a villain's soul
Is in the love of an innocent heart
Love of an innocent heart
