Pendragon - Dance Of The Seven Veils: Faithless lyrics

And old man came here telling tales Of days gone by and seven veils A sanctuary for all the pedlars of the lie But one by one the veils fall Through the subtlety of time recall The words they longed to k** Would not be silent be still You were faithless in a twist of fate You jumped the queue at Traitors Gate It's just my view but you know what I say is true It was the month of the strawberry moon The smell of apples and summer's bloom Ten thousand horses could not drag you centre stage To weary sailors the sirens sing You hinding in the stage's wings Forever clawing at your chains and your white feathers You were faithless in a twist of fate You jumped the queue at Traitors Gate And to the stars our words will rise Forever bound and sealed You were faithless in a twist of fate You jumped the queue at Traitors Gate Each act and motion locked away Will be known in the end You were faithless in a twist of fate You jumped the queue at Traitors Gate At last the veils have fallen down They squirm like vipers on the ground In time the power of pa**ion's lust Slips through your fingers and turns to dust Naked now you too were deceived And now you must stare into the eyes of the Gorgon Here within the time we spent upon the mortal coil Not knowing what it all meant Our lives of pain and toil Are those still standing tall beyond the china wall
