Revelations

When you tire with miles to go
Keep on proud walk tall
Cos the higher your star rises the harder
Somebody's gonna wanna see you fall

Out under that velvet expanse
Mirrored on a placid black sea
This bell that I built with my own two hands
Is gonna be the death knell of me

Pulling back the veil
Silence in the dell
Destined to prevail
Nightingale

Do you pine every day like I pine
Does your bad sign look just like mine
Do you wanna see and know all in a flash of white light
Are we changing our stars tonight

Pulling back the veil
Silence in the dell
Destined to prevail
Nightingale
