Xavier Lyrics by Dead Can Dance

Xavier Lyrics

    Fair Roseanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale
    Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane

    Hatred enfolds us
    Inculcates the minds with it's heresy
    Laymen enfold us
    Clemency arrives to set you free

    Faith
    Although Xavier has prayed
    That life-giving waters may rain
    Down on the souls of man
    To cure them of their ways

    These were the sins of Xavier's past
    Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
    Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
    Eve bears the stigma of original sin

    Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
    Etched in the seam of nature's own hand
    Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith

    Although Xavier has prayed
    That life-giving waters may rain
    Down on the souls of man
    To cure them of their ways

    And as the night turns into day
    Will the sun illuminate your way
    Or will the nightmares come home to stay
    Xavier's love lies in chains

    These were the sins of Xavier's past
    Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
