[Verse 1]
   D
Betrayed my blood

To save my son
   Am
A hopeless choice to make
      D                             Am
But who am I, if not the one who's meant to keep him safe?
F                           C     Am
Is trust and loyalty still justified
F     Dm            C      Em
If I deny him of a better life?

[Verse 2]
Dm
Gabriel has always been
       Bb             Am
The strength I call upon
Dm
But nothing breaks

A father's will
   Bb               C
To do what must be done
          Am              Bb
Should I turn my back on him
F                 Am           Bb
Abandon all our plans for revolution?
                 A      Gm             Em    C#
Where hope and freedom die by morning light

[Verse 3]
Dm                             Bb                     A
Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son
Dm                               Bb               C
Destiny has shown its face, and now the time has come
Am            Bb
Desperation blinds me
       F                       C               D
And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light
   Bb             Am              D
A better life is worth this sacrifice
