Bless The Child lyrics

Artist  : Nightwish 
Song : Bless The Child
 


I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was
weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world.
Alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a
white rose withering,
a newborn drowning a
lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future.
Relived my past.
I witnessed the beauty of the
beast.

Where have all the feelings
gone?
Why has all the laughter
ceased?

Why am I loved only when I'm
gone?
Gone back in time to bless the
child
Think of me long enough to make a
memory
Come bless the child one more
time

How can I ever feel again?
Given
the chance would I return?

I've never felt
so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup
which was counting my time
There's a poison
drop in this cup of Man
To drink it is to
follow the left hand path

Where have all
the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin
-
to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed,
homesick in time,
soon to be freed from care,
from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter
truth:
Time pays us but with earth &
dust
and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my
child:
Without innocence the cross is only
iron,
hope is only an illusion
and the
Ocean Soul's
nothing but a name...

The
Child bless thee
and keep thee forever.
