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
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
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
