The Veil (Reconsideration Version) Lyrics by Emily Afton

RECONSIDERATION - EP

2021

[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 watched as his words
His words took hold at dawn like a plague in the night
And I watched as he turned
Turned their fears into hate
Now I see fire in their eyes
[Chorus 1]
So don't call this a bad dream now
Because 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
[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
[Chorus 2]
That this isn't a dream now
Because 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
[Outro]
They couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
Ooh your voice is power, your voice is power
Ooh your voice is power, your voice is power
Ooh your voice is power, your voice is power
Ooh your voice is power, your voice is power
