The Veil of Isis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As the night arrives the day concedes her crown
In the dying light the shadows grow
When the world is dark and still without a sound
That which was hidden is shown

All that has been shall be again
The dead will rise and the living must depart
And what if all you've seen are lies
When the veil lifts from your eyes
And you face the infinite with fear in your heart?
[Verse 2]

When men have gone and only ghosts remain
That which was secret is known
[Chorus 2]
Tears of sorrow flood the land
All that has been shall be again
And the moon shines over the sea as the mother of man
Somewhere seven ships collide
Seven sailors lose their lives
But their voyage continues on the other side
[Verse 3]
As above, so below
Queen of heaven, she who knows
