Nightwish- Bless the child

Going back to my roots of being here. Epic Nightwish. Epic Tarja. Epis Tuomas. Epic the-two-of-them. Epic music. Epic lyrics. I'm melting and becoming one with all of it. With every single note. With every single letter. With every single tree and every single lake that surrounded The Poet in every single second he was writing another epic opus.
 Not writing more or my words turn out from being full of epic to pathetic...



"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 (repeat)


"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is 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 but with earth and dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
Hope is only an illusion and Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...




The Child bless thee and keep thee forever"
