Lyrics
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 And 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
How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? 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
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
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 (repeat)
"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 and dust, and a dark, silent grave Remember, my child: without innocence the cross is only iron Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's nothing but a name..
The child bless thee and keep thee forever"
