[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"
