"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

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 bless 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 time to bless the child

Think of me long enough to make a memory

Come bless the child 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 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 more time

"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 and ocean soul's nothing but a name

The child bless thee and keep thee forever"
