Celestial Veil

Hold the night inside my hands Love turns the iron into flame I

found your name in the smoke of winter

A silver vow on a trembling tongue

You moved like fire through the silent hall And every wound I

hid came undone The dark kept turning around our bodies

Yet your gaze made the cold retreat I followed the sound of

your beating heart Like a prayer beneath marching feet Take me where

the red stars burn Where fear and desire are one

If I fall, let it be in your light If I break,

make me bloom Heaven in your hands,

I rise Through the storm,

through the fire

Kiss the ruin, make it shine You are my beautiful desire

Heaven in your hands,

I rise Even when the whole world tires Hold me close and

pull me through You are my beautiful desire The moon lay pale

on the broken armor

Still your touch was tender and bright We wore our hope like

a stolen banner

Running straight through the teeth of night I gave you all of

my restless thunder All the grief I could not name You turned

the ache into something holy And taught my blood a sweeter flame

If the dawn never comes

Stay with me in the blaze

Let the world fade away

We were born for this place Heaven in your hands,

I rise Through the storm,

through the fire

Kiss the ruin, make it shine You are my beautiful desire Heaven

in your hands, I rise Even when the whole world tires Hold

me close and pull me through

You

are my beautiful desire

Your name remains, your name remains

In the flame, in the flame (ooh)
