Bless The Child (Live) by Nightwish

"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
One (1)__________ I dreamt a white rose withering,
A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
And witnessed the beauty of the beast"

Where (2)________ all the (3)________________ gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only (4)________ I'm gone?
Gone (5)________ in time to bless the child

How can I ever (6)________ again?
Given the chance would I return?
Why am I (7)__________ only when I'm gone?
Gone (8)________ in (9)________ to (10)__________ the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

I've (11)__________ felt so (12)__________ in my life
As I (13)__________ 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

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
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one (14)________ time

"Where (15)________ all the (16)________________ gone?
Why is the (17)__________________ sin - to (18)________ as I (19)__________ you?
Now unblessed, (20)________________ in time,
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My (21)________ is the (22)________ bitter truth:
Time (23)________ us but with earth & dust,
And a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence
The cross is (24)________ iron,
Hope is only an illusion
& Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child (25)__________ thee & keep thee forever"
