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 (1)__________ I dreamt a white rose withering,
A newborn drowning a (2)________________ loneliness.
I (3)____________ all my future. Relived my past.
And witnessed the beauty of the beast"

Where (4)________ all the (5)________________ gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in (6)________ to bless the child

How can I ever feel again?
Given the (7)____________ would I return?
Why am I loved (8)________ when I'm gone?
Gone back in (9)________ to (10)__________ the child
Think of me long enough to (11)________ a memory
Come bless the child one (12)________ time

I've never (13)________ so (14)__________ in my life
As I drank from a cup which was (15)________________ my time
There's a (16)____________ drop in this cup of Man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

Why am I loved only (17)________ I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come (18)__________ the child one more time
Think of me long (19)____________ to (20)________ a memory
Come bless the child one more time

"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to (21)________ as I loved you?
Now unblessed, (22)________________ in time,
Soon to be freed from care, (23)________ human pain.
My (24)________ is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth & dust,
And a dark, (25)____________ grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence
The (26)__________ is only iron,
Hope is (27)________ an illusion
& Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"
