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 earth and dust, and a dark, silent
grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only
iron,
Hope is only an illusion аnd Ocean Soul′s nothing but a
name…
The Child bless thee and keep thee forever»
