The Veil

by Matt Brady

/

about

The theme and mood of this track were inspired by 19th-century ghost stories, specifically those that come from folklore tales surrounding the spiritualist movement of the late 1800s.

lyrics

Running from the shadows
While being chased by a phantom
I hear a rapping at the door
But there is no one on the other side
Take my hand for the seance
As the room is getting colder
Flicker of the candle
As the flames grow higher

If ever so slightly the veil is lifted
Something might just slip on through
If ever you summon, they will come running
And they’ll never let you be

Scrawled on a tablet
Is a message from the other side
It’s telling me to get out
But I shall not run and hide
A storm cloud follows me
And it rains down endlessly
The gate is coming open
And they’re crawling on the ceiling

If ever so slightly the veil is lifted
Something might just slip on through
If ever you summon, they will come running
And they’ll never let you be
If ever so slightly the veil is lifted
Something might just slip on through
If ever you summon, they will come running
And they’ll never let you be

The veil is lifted
They’re crawling their way through
All their eyes are open
And they’re staring right at you
The veil is lifted
They’re crawling their way through
All their eyes are open
