Veronica’s Veil (Erol Alkan’s extended rework) Songtext
von Fan Death

I joined all the others who had lined the path
Some clutched stones, others held their breath
I was the wife of a Roman who had sentenced you
I just came to observe I was not planning to
Enter the procession as it passed me by
But I felt bound to raise my veil to wipe the sweat from your eyes
And when I pulled it back I knew the rumors were true
′Cause burned into that sheet was the image of you


And I think I can believe now
In sin I've done
And that you can absolve me
And everyone
Will be rewarded for
Their faith and belief
In the sharing of your word
From the cloth you lay beneath
I think I can believe now
I think I can believe now
I think I can believe now
I think I can believe
Now
