Xavier

Lyrics

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 its heresy Laymen enfold us Clemency arrive to set you free Faith, although Xavier 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 Freedom's so hard When we are all bound by laws Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand Unseen by all those who fail In their pursuit of fate 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 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
