Covenant of Veils

Written by TheoDemoya

[Intro]

Candles bled a silver light

When law was written to the night

[Verse 1]

They drew a circle, swore to keep

The world in shadowed, guarded sleep

A covenant to bar the sky

From angel’s hunt and demon’s eye

[Pre-Chorus]

Seal the gate, avert the war

Let mercy be a hidden shore

[Chorus]

Covenant of veils

Where memory pales

We bind the star, we drown the trail

And write our peace in unseen scales

[Verse 2]

Yet every veil conceals a cost

For truth grows hungry when it’s lost

And hearts grow colder in the shade

Where promises and debts are made

[Pre-Chorus]

Bless the lie that keeps us whole

Curse the truth that eats the soul

[Chorus]

Covenant of veils

Where memory pales

We bind the star, we drown the trail

And write our peace in unseen scales

[Bridge]

If love defies what law conceals

Which oath survives when silence heals?

[Final Chorus]

Covenant of veils

Hold fast as daylight fails

If gods return, let shadows rail,

Our children choose their own travails

[Outro]

The candles die; the oath inhales

A world preserved by veils
