Through the Veil Lyrics

Nothing ever prepared me for this moment

nothing has led up to this ordeal

the life I knew is gone – twice over broken

and my fate it must be sealed.



How I wish I’d never seen an ocean

how I wish I’d never smelled the sea

I’ve never felt so powerless and broken

or less equal or less free.



Oh, but give me Nepenthe!



Every wave a jolt from mother nature

every breeze a challenge and a bait

every day a deluge or a scorching

and every single night a wait.



Something fills the air, it’s all around us

as striking as a bolt out of the blue

the impact’s nearly rendered us unconscious

laid a mist upon the crew



The radiance warms my soul and makes me dizzy

a hazy veil now disguises the abyss

its golden sheen is pregnant with such promise

why it fills my head with

blissful numbness

Going...

Gone.



I can never go back, I can never go back there

I can never go back, I can never go back

oblivion upon your lips – Lethe flows in your kiss

I could never go back, I could never go back there...

laudanum, make me numb!

I could never go back, I could never go back there

I could never go back, I could never go back...
