Gone back in time to bless the child
My tale is the most bitter truth
Gone back in time to bless the child
Why has all the laughter ceased?
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
Come bless the child one more time
Where have all the feelings gone?
Given the chance would I return?
There's a poison drop in this cup of man
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
To drink it is to follow the left hand path
Come bless the child one more time
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Where have all the feelings gone?
I dreamt all of my future, relived my past
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Remember my child, without innocence the cross is only iron
A newborn drowning, a lifetime loneliness
Gone back in time to bless the child
And witnessed the beauty of the beast
I've never felt so alone in my life
Hope is only an illusion, and Ocean Soul's nothing but a name
Come bless the child one more time
Why is it the deadliest sin to love as I loved you?
Dead to the world, alive for the journey
One night I dreamt a white rose withering
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Now unblessed, homesick in time
How can I ever feel again?
Time pays us but with earth and dust and a dark, silent grave
