VEILS OF MAYA

Lyrics

IS WHO WE ARE AND IT THE SAME? OR IS IT JUST THE BOWL WE PLACE BENEATH THE FOUNTAIN? FILL IT UP WITH ALL YOU CAN STILL WE'RE SO MUCH GREATER THAN... WE ARE THAT WHICH HOLDS THE SKY AND MOUNTAIN AND WHEN WE AWAKE, THE MEMORY WE TAKE WILL BE THE MEMORY OFOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND WHEN WE ARE GONE THE LOVE WILL LIVE ON THROUGH OUR HEARTS AND THROUGH THE VEILS OF MAYA THROUGH OUR HEARTS AND THROUGH THE VEILS OF MAYA
