Anathema Under A Veil Lyrics

Under A Veil Lyrics

With loving passion, oh your radiance
A serenade I cry
Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory
To hold a mourner’s tears

 ethereal splendour
 pale skin and down cast eyes
 scent of paradise
 like her, forever remains unknown

Through tear stained eyes
My view is growing weaker
Please help my grief be vanquished
Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery
Impale my on your thorns

 celestial splendour
 pale skin and down cast eyes
 farewell autumn kisses
 like her, forever remains unknown

I loved her ... but now she’s gone
(it’s so hard to face)
Overcoming ... tender reckoning

If I too depart the earth
I harmony to (our) heaven we’ll elope

Heavenly grace with which to ease
The virgin’s tears
