One night I dreamt a white rose withering
Dead to the world, alive for the journey
There's a poison drop in this cup of man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path
And witnessed the beauty of the beast
Gone back in time to bless the child
I dreamt all of my future, relived my past
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Gone back in time to bless the child
How can I ever feel again?
Where have all the feelings gone?
Remember my child, without innocence the cross is only iron
Why has all the laughter ceased?
Hope is only an illusion, and Ocean Soul's nothing but a name
Gone back in time to bless the child
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
My tale is the most bitter truth
Given the chance would I return?
Now unblessed, homesick in time
Why is it the deadliest sin to love as I loved you?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Time pays us but with earth and dust and a dark, silent grave
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
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
A newborn drowning, a lifetime loneliness
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Come bless the child one more time
Come bless the child one more time
