Veil
(Anders Altzarfeldt, Peter Avelin, Bjarne Forsbom, Mikael Grönroos, Robert Johansson Lind)
Verse I
The veil of illusion
Spreads quick across the land
Storm of delusion
We can't seem to tell right from all the wrong
Verse II
The truth so apparent
Well, it would seem that not for some
The few, ever growing
Peruse the streets because they're bored So bored
Chorus I
In our house of ruin, we are losing control
Rumours on the streets runs wild
And blow our troubles out of the frame
No new solutions but the same old song
Speculation 'round the clock
In this house in ruin, where we lost control
The rhyme of reason draped and obscured
Behind the towering flow of information
A troublesome war
Stick
Timelessly, floating out into the endless sea, where all my grief finally cease
Chorus II
In our house of ruin, we are losing control
Rumours on the streets runs wild
And blow our troubles out of the frame
No new solutions but the same old song
Speculation 'round the clock
In this house in ruin, where we lost control
The rhyme of reason draped and obscured
Behind the towering flow of information
A troublesome war
Outro Verse
The veil of illusion
Spreads quick across the land
Storm of delusion
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Cause I really need to know
The truth so apparent
Well, it would seem that not for some
The few, ever growing
Peruse the streets because they're bored
So bored
