Look through the dark veil Time immorial It comes and it goes like shards of glass Just a phase in a fragile mind But the memories that lived within her eyes Fly away like leaves in the wind Walk through the dark veil Time immorial It’s a dream or a strange percibility Just a stab in a pounding heart And it swirls, it swirls, it breaks her to the core The transience of a life she once knew Time immorial Never surrender concern to reality May all our dreams come together Lest we lose track of each other We are as one through the dark veil Look through the dark veil Time immorial It’s a dream, it’s a substantiality Just a phase in a fragile mind Yet the memories that hide behind your eyes Roll away like the wheels of time Time immorial Never surrender your care to reality May all our dreams come together Lest we lose track of each other We are as one through the dark veil Walk through the dark veil Time immorial Never surrender concern to reality May all our dreams come together Lest we lose track of each other We are as one through the blind screen Never surrender your care to reality May all our dreams come together Lest we lose track of each other We are as one through the blind screen Time immorial

The Old Man 05:51
The old man sitting on a stone knows his time is short Through stifling, suffocating pain his dry lips reaching for one last taste of bygone days A scarred hand wipes his feathered brow with soft anxiety He stands still, bruised and broken-hearted when the hour strikes and an ill wind robs his life Never surrender concern to reality We are as one through the dark veil The young man ponders what life may in his golden fortress lies there a darker tale untold, a sour fate unfolds Heading for shattered promises Never surrender your care to reality We are as one through the blind screen The old man weeping on the floor knows his time has come He stands still, bruised and broken-hearted when the hour strikes One more taste of bygone days Never surrender concern to reality may all our dreams come together Lest we lose track of each other we are as one through the blind screen One last taste of bygone days
