Through The Veil - words and music by Roger Gregg.

lyrics

Through The Veil. 4’03”
Words & Music by Roger Gregg. 1984.

What becomes of a shooting star?
Rips through the heavens
Yet leaves no scar
A silent night
Is the only wake
No carved rock
Is going to mark its grave
Heaven merely blinks an eye
Slowly exhaling
While gazing through the veil
Gazing through the veil.

I was staring at what must have been
His shaking reflection
On the surface of a ruffled pool
All the while he sat unflinching
On a distant shore.

I lowered my ear to the timeless earth
And heard an ancient voice
Then I too spoke a language we once heard
While silent in the womb, now sleeping
Beneath the grass.

I was breathing through a film of dust
Flung in the atmosphere
Bathing this globe and muting the sun’s kiss
Oh let our lips meet once again.
