Seven Veils Lyrics

Peter Murphy Seven Veils

The day grows older
The moon appears in a mirror
A fire side mirror, a distant walker
Hears the words, go, do good deeds

So you feel okay
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating, reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
No need to ask for wealth
Or one thing more now

And the night feels the same
As a cool, hot summers climb
With the voice comes no shame
As the walker walks the line

The day grows older, the moon appears
Reflecting on his heart
Heavy weighed and pierced
The walker looks at his days

Bad deeds gone by
For which he must pay
The moon and the sun
Partners in light

Separating, reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
Another image hits
The seven veils of mind

But the night feels the same
As a cool, hot summers climb
With the voice comes no shame
As the walker hunts the line
