Through The Veil

[Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 2:19)]

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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...

[Refrain]
Oh, but give me Nepenthе!

[Verse 3]
Every wave a jolt from Mother Naturе
Every breeze a challenge and a bait
Every day a deluge or a scorching
And every singe night a wait...

[Instrumental Break (5:02 - 10:32)]

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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...

[Bridge]
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 on 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...

[Instrumental Outro (14:15 - 16:01)]
