lyrics

BEHIND THE DARK VEIL

Words & Music by: Piet Louter

Her heart is much too large
For hatred of the brute,
Who chastened her just as far
As her religion takes for good.
She basks her special strength
And the benefits, which she draws
From just resigning herself
To the unfair man-made laws

In the darkened corner
She watches over anything,
That might betray her lack of love.
She’s bound in honour
To just figure in the wings
Behind the dark veil
In her own world of thoughts.

Her faith is much too strong
For objection and protest.
And if she has been done wrong,
She’s sure to be avenged at last.
Everything will gonna be alright
At the break of Judgement Day.
Up to then she must stand the fright
By just serving well and obeying.

In the darkened corner
She watches over anything,
That might betray her lack of love.
She’s bound in honour
To just figure in the wings
Behind the dark veil
In her own world of thoughts.
