"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.



"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 it,

but with earth & trust, 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"
