veil of tears

well

a fascinating sensation

no i can't even feel it

i just had to let you know i can't conceal it

i was recently considering taking the pain with the pleasure

just to find my way to the bottom of this

i'll have to dig forever

and it's no small measure

lift up your veil of tears

don't be disappointed child

if your prayers go unanswered

we are not responsible for these sad circumstances

secret agents and freedom fighters on those impossible missions

better put your toys and games away

maybe take the kids out fishing

for a family treasure

in your early years

behind your veil of tears

so frustrated

get up anyway

so complicated

changes every day

so the darkness fades

and the light will come shining through

i heard the eyes that look to a better world

always hide beneath the veil of tears

and you hide no more

lift up your veil of tears

hide no more

behind your veil of tears

now the executioner must be executed

no i think we'll set him free instead

watch him run

and you hide no more

lift up your veil of tears

you hide no more
