Bless The Child (edit) Lyrics - 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 of 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 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
