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 |
