lyrics

THE VEIL
Music: Marc Atkinson/Iain Jennings
Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Marc Atkinson

When days are like shattering glass
They’re so fragile they don’t last
It’s like chasing waterfalls…

When hope seems a whole world away
And you’ve not got the faith to pray
For some kind of miracle…

But is falling just all we can do
Or is something inside me and you
Like some sort of fairy tale
Is it hidden and blinkered from view
And buried inside of the truth
In our own private wishing well…

But if there’s a river in me
It’s so far away from the sea
That it’s running on empty…

Is there nothing we can do or say
Or are we just counting down to Judgement Day
Like it’s some kind of miracle…

But the hope for salvation is free
It’s just between God and me
They’ll be no hiding place…
Is it fear that I’ll see in His face
Or just eternal grace
God only knows…

If all that I said was wrong
And I wrote it all down in a song
Would it be just the fairy tale
Of the face behind The Veil…

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10 kzra
