All at once it happens
You find yourself involved
No escape can hide you
Sleep provides no rest at all
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer

Lift the veil and let it fall
Caught beneath the surface
Worlds lie in between
You know the search will take you
Out beyond the world of things

What am I to say here?
Words so often fail
How am I to wake you?

From your sleep and left the
veil from your eyes
Will I find love with you?
I expect love from you
Will I find love here with you?

All my expectations
Fall upon this frozen ground
Fall upon this holy ground
Did not mean to hurt you
It was envy I suppose
Once that passion takes you
It chills the body and the soul

What am I to do here?
Words so often fail
How am I to wake you?
From you sleep and lift the
veil from your eyes
Will I find love with you?

I expect love from you
Will I find love here with you?
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer

Lift the veil and let it fall
Telling every wish and secret
Saying every word out loud
Can't go on like this much longer

Cannot hide here in this crowd
Why you chose to bear this likeness
Live inside this skin and bone
Wrath becomes the loving kindness

Heals the body and the soul
Waking every sleeping passion
Every single thought restored
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
