Lyrics - Xavier by Dead Can Dance

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
