Bless the Child
By Nightwish
I was born beneath the purple waterfalls,
I was weak, yet I was blessed.
Dead to the world, alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt, a white rose withering,
A newborn drowning in a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamed all my future, and relived my past,
And I have witnessed the beauty of the beast.
Where has all the feelings gone?
Why is it the deadliest sin, to love, as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
Soon to be free from care, from human pain.
My tale, is the most bitter truth,
Time pays us with earth, dust, and a dark silent grave.
Remember my child: Without the innocence,
The cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion.
Oceansoul is nothing but a name,
The child, bless thee and keep thee forever.
