The shadows gather up and thin the veil…
The eyes of storm rip heart’s defiant silence,
I burn and rise again to tell the tale.
As night is dark and dawn beyond is pale,
I melt into your arms, this body’s mine to travel –
The shadows gather up and thin the veil.
I take on promises and vows – all thin as air
In hopes of the eternal life and pleasure –
I burn and rise again to tell the tale.
Wine spills and stains white sheets and bread grows stale,
Tides of routine brings love and hate together –
The shadows gather up and thin the veil.
I’ll love and fight for you until my body fails
Defying all the odds, ignoring pressure
I burn and rise again to tell the tale.
As time rips life apart like rusty nail
Allowing no respite for rest or leisure –
The shadows gather up and thin the veil,
I burn and rise again to tell the tale.
