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 (1)____________ a white (2)________ withering,
A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I (3)____________ all my future. (4)______________ my past.
And (5)__________________ 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 (6)________ when I'm gone?
Gone back in (7)________ 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 (8)________________ my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
To (9)__________ it is to (10)____________ the (11)________ (12)________ path

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to (13)__________ the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
Think of me long (14)____________ to make a memory
Come (15)__________ the (16)__________ one (17)________ 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 (20)________ (21)____________ truth:
Time (22)________ us but (23)________ earth & dust,
And a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: (24)______________ innocence
The cross is only iron,
Hope is only an illusion
& (25)__________ Soul's (26)______________ but a name...
The (27)__________ bless (28)________ & keep thee forever"
