Hannya Veil v2

Under the cedar gate You left your name in ash I wore your promise like a blade Till it turned to glass Paper charms on my tongue Salt in the wound you made Now the river knows my face And calls me by your hate I hear the prayer crack I smell the fear rise Two horns in the mirror Red fire in my eyes Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (come closer) I don't fail Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (your name breaks) in my wail I was the bride you burned Now I return, now I return Beneath the shrine’s black moss I learned the old grief well Every kiss you buried deep Grew teeth inside the well Hands like winter branches Clawing at the silk I fed your lie to the fox And drank the poison milk I hear the prayer crack I smell the fear rise Two horns in the mirror Red fire in my eyes Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (come closer) I don't fail Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (your name breaks) in my wail I was the bride you burned Now I return, now I return Lanterns sink in mud Your footsteps vanish fast I wear the moon like broken bone And nothing here can last Say my name in fear I answer from below The mask is not the curse, my love It's what you made me know Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (come closer) I don't fail Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (your name breaks) in my wail I was the bride you burned Now I return, now I return Hannya Veil, Hannya Veil (come closer) I don't fail #OriginalSong #HeavyMetal #HardRock
