An old man came here telling tales   Of days gone by and seven veils   A sanctuary for all the pedlars of the lie   But one by one the veils fall   Through subtlety of time recall   The wounds they longed to kill   Would not be silent be still      You were faithless in a twist of fate   You jumped the queue at Traitor's Gate   It's just my view but you know what I say is true      It was the month of the strawberry moon   The smell of apples and summer's bloom   Ten thousand horses could not drag you centre stage   To weary sailors the sirens sing   You hiding in the stage's wings   Forever clawing at your chains and your white feathers      You were faithless in a twist of fate   You jumped the queue at Traitor's Gate   And to the stars our world will rise   Forever bound and sealed      You were faithless in a twist of fate   You jumped the queue at Traitor's Gate   Each act and motion locked away   Will be known in the end      You were faithless in a twist of fate   You jumped the queue at Traitor's Gate   At last the veils have fallen down   They squirm like vipers on the ground   In time the power of passion's lust   Slips through your fingers and turns to dust      Naked now you too were deceived   And now you must stare into the eyes of the Gorgon      Here within the time we spent upon this mortal coil   Not knowing what it all meant   Our lives of pain and toil   And those still standing tall beyond the china wall
