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