Passion bears a foolish crown
On the edge, you don't look down
"This could never fade"
Blind to the barricades
But with time the love you found
Love you built your world around
Can become a cage
A heart stoppin' tourniquet
When it's done, the feelings gone
The voices say
"Don't look back, don't look back
Walk away, brave"
Veritas, the truth at last is within you
Inside every sinew
The heart to remain true
Veritas, the strength at last to continue
Despite what you've been through
The power is in you
Love can spin your world around
Lifts you up to bring you down
Leaving emptiness
Hearts in the wilderness
Love was once a burning flame
Embers are the sad remains
Of the fantasy
Damned in reality
Oh yeah
When it's done, the feelings gone
The voices say
"Don't look back, don't look back
Walk away, brave"
Veritas, the truth at last is within you
Inside every sinew
The heart to remain true
Veritas, the strength at last to continue
Despite what you've been through
The power is in you
When it's done, the feelings gone
The voices say
"Don't look back, don't look back
Walk away, brave"
Veritas, the truth at last is within you
Inside every sinew
The heart to remain true
Veritas, the strength at last to continue
Despite what you've been through
The power is in you
Veritas, the truth at last is within you
Inside every sinew
Oh yeah
