Bless the Child Lyrics by Nightwish

Bless the Child Lyrics

    "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"

    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"
