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
I 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
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
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
The Child bless thee and keep thee forever
All right then guys and ladies!
Now we're keeping up with the tradition of the band
Because we're shooting a live DVD out of this one
So it's time also for the open letter
I'll might show a little bit of bad taste with this but I'll do it anyway
So this is how it goes
Dear (insert wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever)
I know it's our anniversary and you've been working in the kitchen for 3 hours
Making us a really fine meal, I think it was coq au vin
But you know since we're in Germany I'll go on to find myself some currywurst
