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 night I dreamt a white rose withering,
A (1)______________ drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I (2)____________ all my future. Relived my past.
And 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 (3)__________ the child
How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance would I return?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in (4)________ to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the (5)__________ one more time
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison (6)________ 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 (7)__________ the child
Think of me (8)________ 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 more time
"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, (9)________________ in time,
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with (10)__________ & 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"
