fan death – veronica’s veil lyrics
i joined all the others who lined the path
some clutched stones, others held their breath
i was the wife of a roman who had sentenced you
i just came to observe i was not planning to
enter the procession as it p-ssed me by,
but i felt bound to raise my veil to wipe the sweat from your eyes
and when i pulled it back i knew the rumors were true
burned into that sheet was the image of you
i think i can believe now
in the sin i’ve done
and that you can absolve me
and everyone –
will be rewarded for
their faith and belief
in the sharing of your word
from the cloth you lay beneath
i came to the emperor to show the sacred cloak
to heal and convince him you weren’t a joke
your face will never leave him now that he has seen the mark
that lifted shroud has cured him; shedding light where there was dark
but i only wish you’d shown me with no sacrifice
if only i could have believed you without the need of sight
but my dedication to you now will never be swayed
since i saw the th-rn crown and the spilled blood you have paid
