Nightwish - Bless The Child Lyrics

Send "Bless The Child" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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 it 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 
with but earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. 
Remember my child:
without innocence the cross is only iron, 
hope is only an illusion,  
an oceansoul's nothing but a name... 
The Child bless thee and keep thee forever"
