Nightwish Lyrics

"Bless The Child" lyrics


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.

Think of me long enough to make a
memory.
Come bless the child one more time.

"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is it 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
with but earth & dust, and a dark,
silent grave.
Remember my child:
without innocence the cross is only
iron,
hope is only an illusion,
an oceansoul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee and keep thee
forever"
