Lyrics
Behind The Veil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What would possess you to justify
Such dark and twisted ways?
What kind of monster would come to feast
When the devil shows his face?
What does it take for life to change
And a mind to lose control?
Cruelly left you to suffer the blame
After all the lies you told
I am finding courage in my darkest hour
I am bent, not broken
Calling out
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day
Can you see the stranger
Hiding in plain sight?
Feeding on the chaos
When the lightning strikes
There's no redemption
There's no being saved
There's no salvation
For a soul depraved
You are finding promise in your finest hour
You are bent, not broken
Calling out
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day
