Behind The Veil Lyrics

What would possess you to justify such dark
And twisted ways

What kind of monster will come to the feast
when the devil shows his face

What does it take for a life to change and a
mind to lose control

Who will be left there to suffer and blame
After all the lies you told

I am finding courage in my darkest hour
I am bent not broken
Calling out

Someone save me
Look behind the veil
Please don't walk away

Someone save me
Bring me home tonight
I can't face another day

Can you see the stranger
Hiding in plain sight
Feeding on the chaos
When the lightning strikes

There's no redemption
There's no being saved
There's no salvation
For a soul depraved

You are finding promise
In your finest hour
You are bent not broken
Calling out

Someone save me
Look behind the veil
Please don't walk away

Someone save me
Bring me home tonight
I can't face another day

Someone save me
Look behind the veil
Please don't walk away

Someone save me
Bring me home tonight
I can't face another day
