"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...

Review about Bless The Child bible | Reviewer: galletje | 6/6/09
I don't know, but somehow, I get the feeling this could be about Marie Magdalena. Just listen very carefully to the lyrics, and the unwritten meaning...
for example: I was weak (prostitute) yet not unblessed (she had Jezus' love...)
Tarja | Reviewer: kate | 3/7/09
this song is asume but so is every other song of nightwish with tarja with anette its more like nightmare tarja is the the heart of nightwish and she is doing just as good without nightwish my winterstorm is a great album
Awesome | Reviewer: Sparrow | 3/16/08
I just can't get over this song! The instrumentals are just awesome and varied and Tarja's voice wraps it up nicely! The lyrics really aren't that sad, but the music just makes you feel in a way beyond words.
I Love this song!! I haven't heard this in years and just woke up with it today. As forgetfulness will do, I couldn't remember anything but the lyrics to this song, the only Nightwish song I remember! Great song. The singing is of the purest voice, and the lyrics are so,.. felt.
Well.. | Reviewer: Kenneth | 7/19/07
