A Dark Ritual Rock Song About Being Seen | VEILSAINT - Veil Me Open

A dark ritual alt-pop and nocturnal rock song about surrendering to revelation, even if being seen destroys the self that stayed hidden. VEILSAINT - Veil Me Open is the closing track from FIRST VEIL, built on breath-close vocals, black-water piano, delayed drums, sacred female choir, and a final chorus that turns a plea into coronation. For fans of Sleep Token, Evanescence, Spiritbox, Chelsea Wolfe, Poppy, Ethel Cain, and songs like Bring Me To Life, My Immortal, The Summoning, Atlantic, Cellar Door, and House of Metal.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I wore the dark around my shoulders Like a vow I could not leave Kept my name beneath the water Taught my mouth not to be seen Every prayer I never finished Hung like silver at my throat I was hidden into shape there I was holy when I broke [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence leans closer Now the silence knows me [Chorus] Veil me open, let the silence see All the names I buried, make a saint of me If the light can wound me, let it mark me clean Veil me open, make a saint of me [Post-Chorus] Make a saint of me Ah-ah Make a saint of me [Verse 2] These hands learned the weight of closing These lips learned the taste of ash Every breath I held for mercy Came back sharper, came back black I can feel the fabric loosening At the bone and at the seam If I lose the girl that lived here Let her open into me [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence stands inside me Now it calls me by me [Chorus] Veil me open, let the silence see All the names I buried, make a saint of me If the light can wound me, let it mark me clean Veil me open, make a saint of me [Bridge] I kept my name beneath the veil I kept my blood inside the hymn I kept the door, I kept the dark I kept the ache beneath my skin But if devotion means undoing If mercy means being seen Then take the last of what I guarded And make a saint of me [Final Chorus] Veil me open, let the silence see All the names I buried, make a saint of me If the light can wound me, let it mark me clean Veil me open, make a saint of me Veil me open, all that I have been All the mouths that named me, leave them out of me If the hush was holding me, now it sets me free Veil me open, make a saint of me [Outro] Make a saint of me Make a saint of me Under the hush Make a saint of me #DarkAltPop #FemaleRock #AIMusic #VEILSAINT #VeilMeOpen
