"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. <br />I was weak, yet not unblessed. <br />Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. <br />One night I dreamt a white rose withering, <br />A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. <br />I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. <br />A witnessed the beauty of the beast" <br /><br />Where have all the feelings gone? <br />Why has all the laughter ceased? <br /><br />Why am I loved only when I'm gone? <br />Gone back in time to bless the child <br /><br />How can I ever feel again? <br />Given the chance would I return? <br /><br />{Refrain:} <br />Why am I loved only when I'm gone? <br />Gone back in time to bless the child <br />Think of me long enough to make a memory <br />Come bless the child one more time <br /><br />I've never felt so alone in my life <br />As I drank from a cup which was counting my time <br />There's a poison drop in this cup of Man <br />To drink it is to follow the left hand path <br /><br />{au Refrain} <br /><br />Think of me long enough to make a memory <br />Come bless the child one more time <br /><br />"Where have all the feelings gone? <br />Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? <br />Now unblessed, homesick in time, <br />Soon to be freed from care, from human pain. <br />My tale is the most bitter truth: <br />Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. <br />Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, <br />Hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name... <br />The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"
