Fair Roseanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale
|
Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane
|
|
Hatred enfolds us
|
Inculcates the minds with it's heresy
|
Laymen enfold us
|
Clemency arrives to set you free
|
|
Faith
|
Although Xavier has prayed
|
That life-giving waters may rain
|
Down on the souls of man
|
To cure them of their ways
|
|
These were the sins of Xavier's past
|
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
|
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
|
Eve bears the stigma of original sin
|
|
Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
|
Etched in the seam of nature's own hand
|
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith
|
|
Although Xavier has prayed
|
That life-giving waters may rain
|
Down on the souls of man
|
To cure them of their ways
|
|
And as the night turns into day
|
Will the sun illuminate your way
|
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
|
Xavier's love lies in chains
|
|
These were the sins of Xavier's past
|
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
|
