Haken

Veil Lyrics

[Intro]

Save me, lift the veil that shades this somber sleep



[Instrumental Break]



[Verse 1]

I disintegrate

With all the things you say

A blame I cannot take

Neither can you

Digging through the dirt

Crawling on my knees

Lying by my grave

Of self-esteem



[Pre-Chorus 1]

From your beams of light

There's no place to hide

In the witching hour

I'll stay



[Verse 2]

Now there's a glint within the darkness

A tainted, ancient aura's grave

Concealed, the remnants of a carcass

I hear your voice and I lose control again



[Pre-Chorus 2]

So many years behind, so many times I lied

There are many things I regret

So many years will pass, so many times you'll lie

There are many things you'll regret



[Chorus 1]

Save me, take away the pain inside

And teach me how to keep those stone cold eyes

Hold me, tell me how the phantoms die

And guide me, lift the veil that shades this somber sleep



[Refrain]

Keep our...

Tainted...

Kingdom...

Flawless...

Keep our...

(Try to deny, but I'm always confined)

(I have to be frank)

Tainted...

(To be looked in the eye, I must try to defy)

(What once made me frighten)

Kingdom...

(I cannot comply, I cannot satisfy)

(The greed needs supplies)

Flawless...

(And I tried to rely on who I left behind)

(The stakes were too high)



[Instrumental Break]



[Refrain]

Keep our...

Tainted...

Kingdom...

Flawless...

Keep our...

(Try to deny, but I'm always confined)

(I have to be frank)

Tainted...

(Looked in the eye, I must try to defy)

(What once made me-)

Kingdom...

(Cannot comply, I cannot satisfy)

(The greed needs supplies)

Flawless...

(Tried to rely on who I left behind)

(The stakes were too high)



[Instrumental Break]



[Bridge]

Stay, under my cozy wings

There's no danger sleeping next to me

Foe, or maybe a loyal friend?

Let desire set the course to take



[Chorus]

Save me, take away the pain inside

Heal me, tell me if I've gone completely blind



[Break (non-lyrical vocals)]



[Chorus]

Save me, take away the pain inside

And teach me how to use these compound eyes

Hold me, tell me how the phantoms die

And guide me, lift the veil that shades this somber sleep



[Outro (instrumental)]
