bless the child-Nightwish

"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
witnessed the beauty of the beast"

where have all the feelings gone?
why has all the laughter ceased?
why am i loved when i m gone?
gone back in time ot this blessed child.
come bless this 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 folloew the left h 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 of the most bitter truth:
time pays us but with earth dust,
a drak, 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"
