Xavier (Dead Can Dance cover)

Fair Roseanna, your vagrancy's a familiar tale

Fraught with danger, the lives you led were judged profaneHatred enfolds us

Inculcates the minds with its heresy

Laymen enfold us

Clemency arrives to set you freeFaith

Although Xavier has prayed

That life giving waters may rain

Down on the souls of man

To cure them all of their waysThese were the sins of Xaviers past

Hung like jewels in the forest of veilsFreedom so hard when we are all bound by laws

Etched in the seam of natures own hand

Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faithAlthough Xavier has prayed

That life giving waters may rain

Down on the souls of man

To cure them all of their waysAnd 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
