Veil

from Betrayer EP by foley.

lyrics

It seems all I want them to see
Is the falsehood that I keep
The respectable you,
but still the resemblance of me

give me a covering for my face,
for my head a hood
thats thick enough for my disgrace.
like a veil of your blood

Oh Lord, break me down and bring me to your throne
See that a servant I become and with all creation grown.

something strong and coarse
to blot out all my sin
on the day I was conceived
this is where it all began.

give me a covering for my face,
for my head a hood
thats thick enough for my disgrace.
like a veil of your blood

Oh Lord, break me down and bring me to your throne
See that a servant I become and with creation grown.

How can a love so clear and clean/
not be enough for me?

How can a song so loud/
be sung out of key?

A light so bright/
yet I choose not to see?

about

foley. Columbia

"Foley’s heart is in the message and in it’s raw delivery: Lead singer Jay Hendrickks’ songwriting hinges on his endless search for salvation and the beleaguered path of sin paving his way. He will scream his way to a song’s crescendo, the pain and yearning palpable, before you’re lulled back to the chorus." - via FreeTimes Jan 2012 ... more
