Under A Veil (Of Black Lace) — Anathema

With loving passion, oh your radiance A serenade I cry Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory To hold a mourner's tears

Ethereal splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Scent of paradise Like her, forever remains unknown

Through tear stained eyes My view is growing weaker Please help my grief be vanquished Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery Impale my on your thorns

Celestial splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Farewell autumn kisses

Like her, forever remains unknown

I loved her... but now she's gone (It's so hard to face) Overcoming... tender reckoning

If I too depart the earth I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope

Heavenly grace with which to ease the virgin's tears
