Bless the Child Songtext / Lyric

Intro:
?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.? Part I:


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

Refrain I:


Why am I loved only when I?m gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child

Part II:


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

Refrain II:


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

Part III:


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 its to follow the left hand path

Middle Path:


?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 but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without the innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion and Ocean Soul?s nothing but a name?

Outro:


The Child bless thee? and keep thee forever.?
