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

Where have all the feelings 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
