17. The Veil of Lies Torn Asunder 4:56
As the end draws near, deception is exposed and the veil of lies is torn open.
Truth shines through like lightning as the dead are raised and judgment begins.

INTRO
VERSE 1
Behold, the heavens shake, the earth stands still,
A voice of thunder, a cry so shrill.
The sky is torn, the stars erased,
The veil of lies is burned, disgraced.
PRE-CHORUS
For the Most High shall be revealed,
Upon the seat of judgment, truth unsealed.
The righteous lifted, the darkness fades,
The wicked scatter, their fate displayed.
CHORUS
The veil of lies torn asunder,
Thunder cracks, the heavens thunder.
The righteous rise, the lost descend,
The book of life, the final end.
VERSE 2
And in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
The dead are raised, the living cry.
The trumpet sounds, the darkness breaks,
A new creation, the world awakes.
PRE-CHORUS
For the long-suffering shall have an end,
Misery fades, the righteous ascend.
The sea gives up the dead, the graves release,
A thousand tongues cry out for peace.
CHORUS
The veil of lies torn asunder,
Thunder cracks, the heavens thunder.
The righteous rise, the lost descend,
The book of life, the final end.
BRIDGE
And death is swallowed up in victory,
The tears are wiped, the blind shall see.
A great white throne, a judgment clear,
The dead are judged, their sins appear.
BREAKDOWN
The darkness fades, a light appears,
A voice that shatters all the fears.
CHORUS
The veil of lies torn asunder,
Thunder cracks, the heavens thunder.
The righteous rise, the lost descend,
The book of life, the final end.
OUTRO
A silence falls, the darkness fades,
The righteous crowned, the truth displayed.
The wicked cast to shadows deep,
Their cries forgotten, where shadows weep.
