Bless The Child (Live @ Wacken 2013) - Nightwish

[00:39.804] I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
[00:43.197] I was weak, yet not unblessed.
[00:47.227] Dead to the world. alive for the journey.
[00:54.180] One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
[00:59.444] A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
[01:04.875] I dreamt all my future. relived my past.
[01:10.059] A witnessed the beauty of the beast\"
[01:43.900] Where have all the feelings gone?
[01:51.708] Why has all the laughter ceased?
[01:59.620] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[02:07.452] Gone back in time to bless the child
[02:31.055] How can I ever feel again?
[02:38.876] Given the chance would I return?
[02:46.642] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[02:54.596] Gone back in time to bless the child
[03:02.482] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[03:10.180] Come bless the child one more time
[03:26.588] I've never felt so alone in my life
[03:31.971] As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
[03:38.389] There's a poison drop in this cup of man
[03:43.741] To drink it is to follow the left hand path
[04:23.603] Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
[04:31.447] Gone back in time to bless the child
[04:39.300] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[04:47.274] Come bless the child one more time
[04:55.136] Think of me long enough to make a memory
[05:03.005] Come bless the child one more time
[05:26.902] Where have all the feelings gone?
[05:31.063] Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
[05:35.577] Now unblessed, homesick in time,
[05:38.595] Soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
[05:43.309] My tale is the most bitter truth:
[05:47.851] Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
[05:55.331] Remember, my child: without innocence the cross is only iron,
[06:02.412] Hope is only an illusion & ocean soul's nothing but a name...
[06:09.732] The child bless thee & keep thee forever
