Bless The Child (Live) by Nightwish

"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 (1)________ withering,
A (2)______________ drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
And (3)__________________ the beauty of the beast"

Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the (4)________________ ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to (5)__________ the child

How can I ever (6)________ again?
Given the chance (7)__________ I return?
Why am I loved only (8)________ I'm gone?
Gone back in (9)________ to bless the child
Think of me long enough to (10)________ a memory
Come bless the (11)__________ 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 (12)____________ (13)________ in this cup of Man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

Why am I loved only (14)________ I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me (15)________ enough to make a memory
Come bless the (16)__________ one more time
Think of me long enough to (17)________ 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 (18)__________ pain.
My (19)________ is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but (20)________ earth & dust,
And a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my (21)____________ Without innocence
The cross is (22)________ iron,
Hope is only an illusion
& (23)__________ Soul's nothing but a name...
The (24)__________ bless thee & keep thee forever"
