Album: Century Child

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.
A 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 Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

The Child bless thee keep thee forever
