When the world wakes from its empty dreams
To find that everything is not what it seems
And the Lord finally reveals
All the hidden things that have been concealed
All the big talkers will have nothing to say
When the veil is torn away
There will be dread and confusion
And an end to all our illusion
He is coming to set things right
Unexpected like a thief in the night
In that hour it'll be too late to pray
When the veil is torn away
There'll be tribulation like the world has never known
And all the great men crying 'hide us from Him who sits upon the throne!'
If I were you I'd be on my knees
Asking for mercy 'save me if you please'
On that great and terrible day
When the veil is torn away
