lyrics

Verse 1
Looking in the mirror
What do you see
Peeling back the layers
Before there was a me
What they told ya
You believe 
What they sold ya Stole ya
Human thief 
We’re all fingers on the hand 
Put em in prayer hear the people clap
Dance inside the mystery 
Feel the vibe of the holy holy

PreChorus  
Take off your suit
Loosen the noose 
Bare thee forbidden fruit

Chorus
Under the veil
After the tales
The original face
Under the skin
Under him
The original face
Under the tomb

Verse 2
Psychic excavation 
Who do you be 
See beyond the skeleton
Man Manipulation 
Will be the end of me
End of all identity
Papillon rising rising
After dark
See them all winding winding
Back the clock
We’re all the colors of the in-between
Gather in prayer let the people be

PreChorus
Take off your dress
Take off your head
Reveal your innocence

Chorus
Under the veil
After the tales
The original face
Under the skin
Under him
The original face
Under the tomb
Under the moon
The original face

Oracle Speech :
Walk out of the darkness
Touch the wind
The ancestors will help you grow
Find the glow of your soul

Bridge
What do you look like
Look like 
With no name 
No no man
No woman the same 
We are everything and nothing
 Lets go back back to the original face
What do you look like 
Look like 
With no name 
No no man 
No woman the same
 From the flower to the fire 
Lets go back to the original face

Under the veil
After the tales
The original face
Under the skin
Under him
The original face
Under the tomb
Under the moon
The original face
Under the lace
After the chase
The original face
