The Veil Comes Down - Scott Allen, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Howard Chang

Piece it together, take it apart

The beginning and ending, the stop and the start

The city is breathing through power lines

And the babies are teething but can’t read the signs

They’re too young to know

All the things that they said

One day they’ll be living

And the next they’ll be dead

But if that sounds too morbid

Too finite and macabre

Let’s stop second-guessing

And figure out who we are, we are, we are…

From the tops of the trees (trees)

From our throats we will scream

We will weaken their knees

We will say what we mean

Tonight, tonight the veil comes down

Yeah, tonight the veil comes…

Our words are weaving, languages intertwine

From the tips of our tongues

To the back of our spines

The city is teething, glowing and white

But its secrets are dirty

And we’ll expose them tonight… tonight all right

From the tops of the trees

From our throats we will scream

We will weaken their knees

We will say what we mean

Tonight, tonight the veil comes down

Yeah, tonight the veil comes down

Yeah, tonight the veil comes down

Tonight the veil comes…

The veil comes down

Tonight, tonight the veil comes down

Tonight the veil comes down

Tonight the veil comes down

Tonight the veil comes down

Yeah, tonight the veil comes down

Tonight the veil comes down
