Under Darkened Vaults Songtext
von Angmodnes

Veil after veil is released from your soul,
Veil after veil swirls intangible in the air.
How many veils covered your soul,
How many secrets have they buried?
Why have you hidden your depths
From light, from air, from surface?
You told yourself: everything is extreme, unutterable.
And off you went taking the church bell,
Covering the windows,
And under darkened vaults built your temple.


Veils that covered secrets,
And secrets that hid sadness.
The mystery of veiling is revealed unto us
In the aerial dance of the veils,
The mystery of all that is unutterable.
Veil after veil is lifted from the soul;
Mysteries approach the world,
The light, the air, and the surface.
How veiled were these mysteries,
And each tombstone.
So many dead lay under them,
So much sadness in you.
