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
