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 it's heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free
Faith
Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
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 seam of nature's own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of 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 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
Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane
Inculcates the minds with it's heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free
Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin
Etched in the seam of nature's own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavier's love lies in chains
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils

This is a cover of the Dead Can Dance song; it was available on certain editions of the 'Symbol of Life' album...
Waaah? Copied off Dead can Dance or copied by them.Hmm...either way this song is amazing.
This is a cover of Dead Can Dance's Xavier by Paradise Lost (for their album 'Symbol of Life'), not "copied off".
