Black veils cover us all
You're told it's to shield you from what you do not want to see
But in truth it is them who do not want to you to see
See the filthy grime that blankets the Earth
It's all okay they say in a soothing tone
Nothing's the matter. Put your veil back on
But who can help but peek when you hear the sounds of torture?
The screams of suffering and agony that you are told to ignore.
After all, they'll take care of it.
