The Veil (Pyramus et Thisbe) Lyrics


They were two jewels of purity

Divided by a wall that had been built many years before

He used to listen to her breathes

So many kisses have been blown through the years every day

Oh hard destiny

Please let their love come true

So one night, the elopement

A date in the dark wood of hope

No way to warn him, or to come back

Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground

He stuck his dagger in his breast

The berries turned to red

When she was back and saw him

She saw the blade and met her own death

There was a little cleft in the wall

The only way they had to meet their glances of love

So many letters passed through it

The only way they had to be closer

Oh hard destiny

Please let their love come true

So one night, the elopement

A date in the dark wood of hope

No way to warn him, or to come back

Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground

Solo – La Russa

So one night, the elopement

A date in the dark wood of hope

No way to warn him, or to come back

Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground
