Bless The Child

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.
A 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
