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"

Nightwish - Bless The Child



A little bit of November escapism on my behalf... I must say I have mixed feelings about this one since it turned out to be very different than I planned. Bless The Child is a deeply meaningful song for me - it was the first Nightwish song I ever heard, and in a way my initiation to metal music. That's a pretty much pressure for an artwork... I enjoyed putting this piece together but after all I'm not sure if I managed to reach the idea that I originally had.
Maybe I'll remake this later. Right now I'm just going to enjoy it as a piece of dream amidst the darkness of Finnish autumn - this is the time of the year when I could really use some magic. Meanwhile, I hope you like this piece.
