Veil Of Tears Lyrics - Virgin Black

Veil Of Tears 

Walk my dismal path 

Pursue my much walked ways 

Two hells I've found 

Two deaths I'll die 

Mere fools choose to stay 

Shut out the sky 

In this (already) darkened room 

As I prepare myself for slumber 

Where the weary are at rest 

Scraps of acrid marrow 

Dried and whitened spine 

Wasting of the limbs 

Abbreviated death 

Such a bitter satire 

I'm content to rest alone 

Leave me here and I will lie 

Composed an dundisturbed 

Oh where can I find sorrow 

To relieve me of my grief 

I've shut my eyes to God above 

And walked my dismal way 

I've drunk the dregs of a wooden cup 

I've trampled on His blood 

I've smeared Him in my arrogance 

I grieve I can't turn back
