Nightwish - Bless the child - live at hartwall arena 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 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
