What lies behind you? What secrets do you hide?
What are those voices there on the other side?
No way of knowing; no way to talk to you
Unless you go all the way through
I can still hear them; meaningless whispering
They're here all around me
Is this what lies beyond the veil?
Is this what happens if we fail?
I'm not prepared to face this -- oh, Sirius
Come back to me, come back to me
One million questions, one million mysteries
Why can't you see it? 'Cause it looks so real to me
It's just some voices
Faceless, they seem to be right there, calling me in
I'll walk right through it; see what's there on the other side
It doesn't scare me
Is this what lies beyond the veil?
Is this what happens if we fail?
I'm not prepared to face this -- oh, Sirius (Sirius)
Come back to me, come back to me
(Unsupported by any surrounding wall, the archway was hung with a tattered black curtain or veil which, despite the complete stillness of the cold surrounding air, was fluttering very slightly as though it had just been touched.)
Is this what lies beyond the veil?
Is this what happens if we fail?
I'm not prepared to face this -- oh, Sirius
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
