This Sceptred Veil
Unleash the serpents before they break down the walls There’s a strange sense of wonder in a world that can’t evolve And I save all my pennies, with my hands down in the salt Calling for your Mother, you should have stayed at home Are we safe in these four walls? Never got a ride Hauled up in the bathroom, no words to resign And I saved all my pennies to placate every God Put my faith in tomorrow, don’t stray away from homе And you’ve stolen the words, alright! And thе love is gone, alright! This world ain’t monochrome boy, when one bite can bring you down Take your plastic sweetness, your superficial crown And you save all your pennies for an illuminated love The truth is still the truth boy, take your toys and run And you’ve stolen the words, alright! And the love is gone, alright! We’re all human, we all trip up. Why do you push aside? We’re all human, we all trip up. Why do you push aside? If you are so smart, then just why do you stay? If you are so kind, why do you act this way? In this sacred life, we have but one resolve To love and be loved, when you are gone If you are so smart, then just why do you stay? If you are so kind, why do you act this way? In this sacred life, we have but one resolve To love and be loved, when you are gone

Through the back of beyond, we've travelled far through the storm Molecules dissolving small, a vision true, our minds resolved Before the madness guides you How can we trust, once we thought true A stream of noise, absolute blue Where lies become born anew No matter how the words sound cruel Before the madness guides you, hold on Before the cancer takes you, move on And I was sitting on Father’s shoulders Raising my neck just to get a glimpse Nothing else existing in that perfect moment And I'd love to see myself again Your judgement falls, your conscience clear Our working poor, silenced by fear From hilltops green, announce your view Of hateful greed, to those with few Before the madness guides you, hold on Before the cancer takes you, move on And I was sitting on Father's shoulders Raising my neck just to get a glimpse Nothing else existing in that perfect moment And I’d love to see myself again And I was sitting on Father's shoulders Raising my neck just to get a glimpse Nothing else existing in that perfect moment And I'd love to see myself again This sceptred veil that holds me With loving arms just to keep me near With jealous eyes you haunt me Because our love is what you fear

I could feel force shaking my ribs so sore Just to hear, to see, to feel you close Backs against the crowd, a memory so proud, in awe And now I understand why you keep shining on In this place Foreigner, take me back A son is born The space between what you can see is Lord Help us break this curtain between us We could reach you through the glass A truth so sadly cold Pain would be replaced by darkness all In this place Foreigner, take me back A son is born Foreigner, take me back A son is born, In this place Foreigner, take me back A son is born And I thank you for those days For evеry silly game For each line tracеd And when I think back, it’s always you And when I stand tall, it’s always you And now we can’t stem the flow I’m just a foreigner wherever I go And when I think back, it’s always you And when I stand tall, it’s always you And now we can’t stem the flow I’m just a foreigner wherever I go There comes a day of reckoning This staff I carry, is deafening You surrounded us with your love Help us hold on to your sweet glow To protect us from the deep crush We sent the warriors away from The lines on our face Stories well traced The pain in my chest Pull me down, down, down, down The truth we all face Gone from this place The line is replaced Would there still be a trace? Would there be a trace? Would there still be a trace? Pull me down, down, down, down

A shadow rises, then fades to black The smoke disguises the way The world falls silent The truth untold Dig my palms in to the soil Yeah Why is it raining? It’s not your fault Now it’s pouring Endless walking to your door The curtain sweeps us all Yeah Why is it raining? It’s not your fault Now it’s pouring, come on Pour! Pour! Pour! Pour! Reward your failing, with tooth and sword I think I’m waking up Yeah Why is it raining? It’s not your fault Now it’s pouring. It’s not your fault Can’t stop it raining. It’s not your fault Now it’s pouring. It’s not your fault

If he’s gonna save ya, you wanna keep him around If she’s gonna sacrifice herself, she’s sound as a pound But if he’s just a white knight, with words of sweetness oh Chances are he’s faking, hiding something from you, oh Cos being good feels good enough to me Being blind is where I wanna be Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me” Do I have to scream and yell? Show don’t tell! Don’t tell me how to be good, I don’t need lessons from you The shiny words from your mouth don’t synchronise with your truth, oh Cos if you need a high five, for not being a douche You made it about yourself again, so tell that fool to vamoose! Oh! Cos being good feels good enough to me Being blind is where I wanna be Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me” Do I have to scream and yell? Show don’t tell! I’m not gonna waste my time Talking to a waste of time If you have to explain your holiness baby You ain’t going near my loving kind Cos that’s not kind Show don’t tell! Show don’t tell! Show don’t tell! Every time you seek love, it’s one step closer to hell Cos checking on your neighbour, is a reward in itself oh! Cos no one likes a white knight, who only thinks of himself Listen to your heart my friend, it’s saying show don’t tell Cos being good feels good enough to me Being blind is where I wanna be Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me” Do I have to scream and yell? Show don’t tell!

Over vast oceans of time I have come to deliver the word of life Where I plant my staff, shall a truth blossom wide Its leaves the essence A revelation of time For I carried him on my back Until we saw the sun rise over Avalon Feet blistered and bloodied Clothes tattered and torn For then he was just a boy It’s all circles all Divide in to dust (can’t do this alone) And I’m frozen cold An hourglass to hold (can’t do this alone) Over vast oceans of time I have come to deliver the word of life Where I plant my staff, shall a truth blossom wide Its leaves the essence A revelation of time The sun will rise again The blood, the sweat, the sin The sun will rise again The blood, the sweat, the sin
