Xavier - Lyrics by Dead Can Dance


Lyrics
Fair Roseanna,                        your vagrancy's a familiar tale                             fraught with danger,                    the lives you led were judged for fame                              hatred enfolds us,                     inculpates the minds with it's heresy                              laymen enfold us,                       clemency arrives to set you free!                                    Fate...                          Although Xavier has prayed                       that life-giving waters may rain                           down on the souls of men                          to cure them of their pain.                     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 high when we all are bound by laws                   etched in the scheme of nature's own hand              unseen by those who fail in their pursuit of fate.                          Although Xavier 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                        oh the sun, the moon, wish away                  although 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
