Do not use the past as an alibi

For all of your deficiencies always standing by

Face your negligence, do not fool yourself

Shortcomings will soon appear

For weakness shows itself

Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through

For I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you

In a misty veil, misplaced

Her eyes fell

While the shame was written on her face

When she realised that her failures

Could never, could never be undone again

You did not notice the manipulated hand

That overshadowed your thoughts all those years

That made you insecure

You did not notice the ancient shifting sand

That pulls you down into an everlasting sham

You will never be able to fight

Never be able to hide

Run for a fall, you'd better run

Oh, in a misty veil, misplaced
