Beyond the Veil

Lyrics

The fibre of this life is paper thin A spider's web can be torn By a shift in the wind And the mirror pool is shattered When you toss a pebble in Hey, yeah And I'm not afraid To admit that I'm afraid Bewildered by the great And the terrible way we're made Oh, that my eyes Could shed these scales I can almost make out The shape of a face Just beyond the veil Questions crowd my heart And will not pass My prayers are lost in silence And the sky is like brass But I'll stay on my knees Until my answer comes at last And I'm not afraid To admit that I'm afraid Bewildered by the great And the terrible way we're made Oh, that my eyes Could shed these scales I can almost make out The shape of a face Just beyond the veil Closer to the flame We drink our cup of pain And it burns us to the bone In the fire we find a strength Greater than our own Than our own And I'm not afraid To admit that I'm afraid I'm bewildered by the great And the terrible way we're made Oh, that my eyes Could shed these scales I can almost make out The shape of a face Just beyond the veil Oh, yeah, shape of a face Ooh, oh, just beyond the veil Oh, now, the shape of a face Shape of a face Just beyond the veil, yeah, yeah Oh, oh, just beyond the veil, yeah Shape of a face It's the shape of a face Just beyond the veil, yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh, just beyond the veil Yeah, yeah, shape of the face Yeah, just beyond the veil...
