Bless the Child

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 earthdust and a dark silent grave

Remember my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron

hope is only an illusionOcean Soul's nothing but a name

The Child bless theekeep thee forever"
