Take the veil from my eyes

Take the veil from my eyes,
so that I may see through your disguise....

Beggars in feathers,
rich men in ties...
children remember,
the truth within lies...

Soldiers and demons,
saints and virgins...
all parade,
before my eyes....

But take the veil from my eyes,
and I will see through their disguise....

Underneath it all,
the guise and the glitter...
the mud and torn robes....
in the ruins of the gutter,
blooms the rose...

Wash the blackened painted faces..... enough,
and they turn brilliant once again...
innocence can not be stolen,
only hidden by the veil,
that I wish,
you would take from my eyes....
