[Music by Wagner/Schroeder, lyrics by Wagner]
Disturbing the peace of the night for a raid
Stealing goods taken through greed
A playtoty transcendental powers had made
This is the thing that you need
[Chorus:]
Hand of glory
Stopping all the sleepers from awakening this night
Hand of glory
Witchcraft triumphs in joy while the fingers are
set alight
All who live in this house fell asleep
The hand was making them drowse
Now there's time to take all you need
Ho hindrance to plund'rin' this house
[Chorus]
First you need a hanged man's corpse
Cut off the left hand and preserve it
But dress it not with tannin pure
Witches know the right mixture
The hand makes succesfull robbery - well
But just take care of the thumb
If it don't burn someone's not in the spell
And he'll discover your plan
[Chorus]
Hand of gloryOh don't ask why me, why me, why not me
Why not me is the thing
Don't ask why, life's running by me
Live each moment that it brings
Take the time to smell the roses
Take the time to watch the stars
Take the time to see your child grow
Daddy now I know
Daddy now I know
Oh don't ask why me, why me, why not me
Yes time is going fast
I'm starting to question, what is life's intention
Guess I've been too scared to ask
But I'm letting go, to God in his wisdom
Or whoever that may be
Nobody knows who plans your future
Or decides your destiny
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Life does the strangest things
You never know
What each moment can bring
You turn around
Your life has changed
You've got to fight each round
Yes take it on the chin
No don't you ever give in
Oh don't say why me, say "life just try me"
And grow from all your tears
Every obstacle before you
Is a tool to face your fears
Yes, now I know, it's time to slow down
It's the sign to take control
For too many years I've been a victim
But Daddy now I know
Daddy now I know
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
You've got to fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
You've got to fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
