Lyrics

[00:16.27] Nightwish - Bless The Child
[00:34.72] "I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
[00:36.75] I was weak, yet not unblessed.
[00:40.37] Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
[00:45.50] One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
[00:53.34] a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
[00:58.07] I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
[01:03.11] And witnessed the beauty of the beast"
[01:38.39] Where have all the feelings gone?
[01:45.87] Why has all the laughter ceased?
[01:53.52] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[02:01.72] Gone back in time to bless the child
[02:25.97] How can I ever feel again?
[02:32.59] Given the chance would I return?
[02:41.44] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[02:49.09] Gone back in time to bless the child
[02:56.46] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[03:05.07] Come bless the child one more time
[03:20.94] I've never felt so alone in my life
[03:26.27] As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
[03:32.41] There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
[03:38.09] To drink it is to follow the left hand path
[04:18.13] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[04:25.61] Gone back in time to bless the child
[04:33.10] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[04:41.99] Come bless the child one more time
[04:50.18] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[04:57.37] Come bless the child one more time
[05:22.37] "Where have all the feelings gone?
[05:25.79] Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
[05:30.45] Now unblessed, homesick in time,
[05:33.04] soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
[05:38.20] My tale is the most bitter truth:
[05:42.43] Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
[05:48.77] Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
[05:55.82] hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
[06:05.03] The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"
