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 its 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 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 so hard when we are all bound by laws

Etched in the steam of nature's own hand

Unseen by all 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

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
