lyrics

Over my eyes the softest veil
Give whispers to the wishing well
The Blood washed thin and pale

There's plenty here to fill my hand
To promise me this promise land
A wasted thirst a sham

We're sleeping under spells of dust
Eternal life for loss and lust
Hell's maw beneath the crust

The cover of the night won't last
The golden sheen of youth long passed
The creeping, ruinous, glass

And not a way to save one breath
Beneath the crushing hand of death
The rich and poor bereft

So tear the veil and wake my soul
O, Christ, o, Conquerer of Sheol
All truth, all life, is yours
