The Veil Lyrics by Emily Afton

Consideration

2020

[Verse 1]
Who would have thought?
Who could have imagined it would all turn out this way?
He came along
They had their hearts out
Out on their sleeves to be taken
And I watch as his words
His words took hold at down
Like a plague in the night
And I watch as he turned
Turned their fears into hate
Now I see fire in their eyes (fears in, fears in)
[Chorus 1]
So don't call this a bad dream now
Cause while you are sleeping they take everything away
Don't tell me not to scream now
In my scream they heard my life and couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
[Verse 2]
Who would have thought?
Who could have imagined that we could stoop so low?
And now the curtain's been drawn
The veil has been lifted
Now the truth we all know
We all know
[Chorus 2]
That this isn't a dream now
Cause while we were sleeping, they took everything away
Don't tell me not to scream now
In my scream they heard my life and couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
[Outro]
Couldn't look away
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life[?]
Couldn't look away
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life[?]
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life[?]
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life[?]
(Spoken Spanish)
[Outro audio mix]
Unfortunately, there are people (unfortunately)
Who are so greedy for power (for power) (who are so greedy)
That they will sacrifice (that they will sacrifice)
The freedom of their fellow countrymen to obtain power for themselves
History, even recent history is replete with such instances
In these times, no public figure, and no party and organization reporting such a person can be accepted without careful consideration
Every public figure and organization must be carefully scrutinized and if their real aims are to limit or destroy all freedom of individuals
They must be opposed and defeated
