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 freeFaith, although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their waysThese 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 sinFreedom 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 faithAlthough Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their waysAnd as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way?
Or will the nightmares come home to stay?
Then Xavier's love lies in chainsThese were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
