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 newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A 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 Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? 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? 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 & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name... The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands The stories long-forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep

A star falls down from the darkened sky, where new worlds born and die. Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow. What it means is soon to be known. Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace. On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu. To honor this moment even the Heavens cease. Giant spiders learn how to swim, with whales they form a united kin. Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground. In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound. Trilobite and Anymalocharis, the prey and the hunter. Survival of the fittest, fall of man. Seadrops foam all empty human skulls, those on the shores of Atlantis. Darwin's resurrection is witnessed by turtles he used to play with. Healed and happy she oversees the mother. The tyrant's return to the sea!

Come wet a widow's eye Cover the night with your love Dry the rain from my beaten face Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine Come cover me with you For the thrill 'til you will take me in Come comfort me in you Young love must live twice only for us For me, for you Time devours passion's beauty With me, with you In war for the love of you For me, for you Time devours passion's beauty With me, with you Tonight any dream will do Not a world but your fine grace Seduction in sleepwalker's land November dressed in May on your face Holding us now the lovecropper's hand Come cover me with you Come cover, come cover me now Come cover me with you For the thrill 'til you will take me in Come comfort me in you Young love must live twice only for us Come cover me with you Come cover, come cover me now
