The blow's been dealt and taken its toll
Listless I stumble like a drunk in the cold
Questioning foundations of a hope I took for granted
I feel my soul choked by the rope of a slanted
View of reality, so it seems
Maybe I've been living in some childish day dream
As not but dust in motion
An insignificant drop in an endless ocean


So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you
So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you


Cut off at the knees, gasping for breath
Grieving for my hope as it totters on the brink of death
Watching the sun fade and run down
As my ears go deaf to the ancient and thundering sound
Of creations singing I'm clinging
So tight to my questions I can't hear its chorus ringing
Like some perpetual dancer
I'm running and spinning in search of the answers


So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you
So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you


In this fog of pain, creation plays its strain
The wind breathes one name, star shines one fame
In this fog of pain, creation plays its strain
The wind breathes one name, star shines one fame (2x)


So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you
So rend the veil, the shroud that clouds my eyes
I want to see you
And every fiber of my being is longing for you
