Beyond The Veil - Tiger Army

A sudden shock, a sudden leap

Floating then flying through the night

Would I really want to leave forever?

Mysteries grow few and far between

And in the end there’s only one

The smallest clue would be a revelation

When I was young I longed to know

What lies beyond the veil

If my mind could only see it

But as I come closer it whispers

I don’t want to tell — the things that it says in my dreams

Excitement turns to fear and dread

Something I prayed for once denied

So many times I thought this was what I wanted

Now it’s here, I don’t know what to think

This isn’t how I thought I’d feel

The decades now seem a fleeting moment

When I was young I longed to know

What lies beyond the veil

Now I don’t want to see it

As I come closer it whispers

I don’t want to tell — the things that it says in my dreams

The things that I think I can see
