Shadow Veil

A darker turn beneath the turning sky

The wheel keeps turning with a heavier hand

Dust on our shoes and salt across the land

We hold our names like stones against the rain

The night grows closer but we walk the same

The world is yours The world is mine

The world belongs to no one Hold me close through the darkening

air The world belongs to no one If the spinning heart slips

out

beyond the ring

I will follow where the quiet ashes sing

Every promise bends

but does not disappear

I can feel your distant footsteps drawing near

In the market of departures,

I count what remains

In the shape of this longing,

every blessing stains

Still the empty sky keeps calling out our names

The world is yours The world is mine

The world belongs to no one

Stay with me now The world belongs to no one

The world is yours The world is mine The world belongs to

no one
