The Veil lyrics

[Verse 1]

Underneath the sky where the cold winds cross

There is an ocean where data flows

One man in a boat out on the sea

A sea of little bits of you and me

[Chorus]

Let it all go, set it all free

You let the whole wide world see

Exactly what is going on

Exactly who is looking on

[Verse 2]

Stories start to leak, they colour your name

While up above cloud turns to rain

You can feel the touch of a hand you know well

It's a very long way from Maryland

[Chorus 2]

Some say you're a patriot

Some call you a spy

An American hero

Or a traitor that deserves to die

In the heart of the free world

In the home of the brave you gave up everything

To bring down the veil
