Santeria - Shattered Veil Lyrics

[Verse]
Breath of shadows, night engulfs the pain,
Windows to the soul, fractured in the rain.
Whispers in the hall, ghosts dance to cries,
A crimson veil descends, masking wounded ties.

[Verse 2]
Merciless echoes, steel against the skin,
Haunted by the past, nightmares crawl within.
Specter of betrayal, chains of twisted lace,
Innocence a memory, lost in vacant space.

[Chorus]
Rise from the ashes of the shattered throne,
Bound by darkness, but never alone.
Phoenix craves the morn, wings spread, they're torn,
In shadows reborn, fierce light is sworn.

[Verse 3]
Hallowed ground beneath, stained by silent screams,
Torn fabric of trust, unraveling seams.
Achings of the heart, veiled in martyr's guise,
Behind the mask, a warrior's fire lies.

[Verse 4]
Writhing in the depths, serpents coil and twist,
Gilded cage of torment, rage clenched in a fist.
Echo of defiance, breaks the iron clime,
Shattered veil of silence, freeing boundless crime.

[Bridge]
Gaze into the abyss, see the phoenix rise,
From the inferno of anguish, beyond severed ties.
A new dawn beckons, in its blinding clarity,
From the embers, pride, reclaiming divinity.
