Bless The Child

How is there not a thread for this? Or all songs off Century Child.

Anyway Bless The Child is one of my favourite songs. Return of Sam the Dead Boy

I love this bit
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

How the pace picks up and the lyrics pop into my head a lot.

Remember, my child:
Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion
& Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

These may be my favourite lines ever written by Tuomas. They just really hit me.

His lyrics are really powerful and touching.
But this you wrote from BTC are just...wow

Remember, my child:
Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion
& Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

This is remarkable.

CC was my first Nw song. At first it scared me but only because I had never heard anything like Nw before.

Everytime I hear Marco say those lines I get shivers. It's just so true.

Well Century Child's a good first album

Innocence is one of my most valued things

BTC is a really good opener. I love the spoken intro.
