BLESS THE CHILD

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 new-born 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 the 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

Think of me long enough
To make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

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.

END OF ALL HOPE

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth

No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow

Angels, they fell first
But I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece
Will finally be sung

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound, it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with birth

Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time
The rest is silence

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the death of all hope
To have what I once had

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith

End of all hope.

DEAD TO THE WORLD

All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

The child gave thought
To the poet's words
Gave comfort to the Fallen

Heartfelt, lovelorn

Remaining, yet still uninvited
Those words scented my soul

Lonely soul, Ocean Soul

It's not the monsters under your bed
It is the Man next door
That makes you fear, makes you cry
Makes you cry for the child
All the wars are fought
Among those lonely men
Unarmed, unscarred

I don't want to die
A scarless man
A lonely soul

Tell me now what to do

I studied silence, learn the music
I joined the sinful
To regain innocence

Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

Dead, silent, constant
Yet always changing
My favorite view of this world

As he died, he will return
To die in me again
Weaving the cloth
Giving birth to the Century Child
Who gave his life
Not for the world but for me
Innocence reborn once more

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
We're dead to the world.
