Them - The Thin Veil

Miranda, it's time to wake my dear
Wake up!

Placed on the altar
With her arms by her side
A draping veil covers her head to neck
Loosen the halter as the torso expands
Inflate her soul with a spirit from beyond

Thunder bellows around us
Hounds approaching fast, stall
Feed her the drops of potion
Casting of the last spell
Lighting electrifies her
Sky is overcast
Call for god no more, don't mourn
There's movement through the thin veil
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Quicken the breath
Awaken the soul
Back from the dead
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Resurrect her back to life
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Quicken the breath
Awaken the soul
From the depths of hell
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Final word concludes the rite

The body shimmers in the faint
And dying light
Decaying flesh draw the maggots
From beneath
Her small area drops down
Off the altar, dangling
Straighten her back
Before it's too late, amen

Thunder bellows around us
Hounds approaching fast, stall
Feed her the drops of potion
Casting of the last spell
Lighting electrifies her
Sky is overcast
Call for god no more, don't mourn
There's movement through the thin veil
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Quicken the breath
Awaken the soul
Back from the dead
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Resurrect her back to life
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Quicken the breath
Awaken the soul
From the depths of hell
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Final word concludes the rite

Unnatural forces, quickly to succumb
Levitating body, her back snaps back
Twisting, twisting into form

Thunder bellows around us
Hounds approaching fast, stall
Feed her the drops of potion
Casting of the last spell
Lighting electrifies her
Sky is overcast
Call for god no more, don't mourn
There's movement through the thin veil

Thunder bellows around us
Hounds approaching fast, stall
Feed her the drops of potion
Casting of the last spell
Lighting electrifies her
Sky is overcast
Call for god no more, don't mourn
There's movement through the thin veil
There is movement, subtle movement
Sleeping no more
There was a will, there was a way
The time is now, remove it Remsen
Remove her veil
