lyrics

The Veil by Polytheist

Reaching, you’re reaching, reaching for something,
something to call your own.
Dying for something, crying for nothing,
something that won’t erode.

The veil

Fallen heroes they reprimand, Brave martyrs go to waste
Rather than to take a stand they cower from those they will not face

The mist has veiled translucent hail,
and pummeled out the heroes trail
The women weep, disparaged wail,
where is hope when heroes fail

The veil

Reaching, you’re reaching, reaching for something,
something to call your own.
Dying for something, crying for nothing,
something that won’t erode.

Fallen heroes they reprimand, Brave martyrs go to waste
Rather than to take a stand they cower from those they will not face

I will not envy the self-pity you’ll endure,
when you realize what a waste your life has been

The mist has veiled translucent hail,
and pummeled out the heroes trail
The women weep, disparaged wail,
where is hope when heroes fail

The weary people beg for change,
and yet routine remains the same
Too afraid to risk their skin,
and more content, to hide with in

The mist has veiled translucent hail,
and pummeled out the heroes trail
The women weep, disparaged wail,
where is hope when heroes fail

Reaching, you’re reaching, reaching for something,
something to call your own.
Dying for something, crying for nothing,
something that won’t erode
