Bless The Child

Nightwish

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

Muisc

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

Music

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

Music

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

Music

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

Music

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
