Xavier |
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 |
