Xavier
Dead Can Dance
Fair Rosanna your vagrany's a familiar tale
Fraught with danger, the lives you led were judged profane
Hatred enfolds us
Inculcates our minds with it's heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arise to set you free
Fate
Arvo Rosannia has prayed
That life giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of men
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
Freedoms so hard, when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the scheme of natures own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of fate
Arvo Rosannia has prayed
That life giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of men
To cure them of their ways
And as the night turns into day
Will the Sun illuminate your way
Or will your 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
