Nightwish- Bless the Child

Nightwish's song Beauty of the Beast
From their album "Century Child"

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.
And 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 (repeat)

"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 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"

@LinarkSpain Bueno, y diría que suenan más a ABBA en Bye Bye Beautiful por ejemplo XD. Bueno es que yo soy un fan nuevo y el anterior NW me encanta pero como me hice fande la banda cuando ya estaba Anette pues también me gusta mucho su nuevo estilo. Quizás si fuese fan desde la formación del grupo pues no me gustaría tanto. Y sí, en mi opinión su mejor disco es Century Child :P Aunque en general todos son buenísimos.

@MrMontilius me parece muy bien que te guste el nuevo disco, y lo respeto, lo q me molesta es el cambio que han hecho :( los que preferiamos el estilod e century child y oceanborn estamos muchos un poco decepcionados. y no digo q sean tributo a ABBA XD sino q en storytime suenan un poco a ABBA jaja

@LinarkSpain Eres español? (lo digo por tu nick XD) Sí, Tarja era increíble pero el actual NW me gusta, el nuevo album es muy bueno, alejado de la mediocridad de algunas canciones de Amaranth. Eso sí, no te permito que digas que es una banda tributo de ABBA >:O jejeje es broma, saludos
