Peter Murphy - Seven Veils Lyrics






The day grows older
The moon appears in a mirror
A fire side mirror
A distant walker
Hears the words
Do do good deeds
So you feel ok
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
No need to ask for wealth
Or one thing more now

And the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice
Comes no shame
As the walker walks the line
The day grows older
The moon appears
Reflecting on his heart
Heavy weighed and pierced
The walker looks at his days
Bad deeds gone by
For which he must pay
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
Another image hits
The seven veils of mind

But the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice comes no shame
As the walker hunts the line

  1. m.... z....

    One of the great rock songs of all time.

  2. s.... ....

    Does something sound a little off about this? It seems remastered or slightly changed somehow. Maybe the tempo?

  3. R.... V....

    Amazing song, makes me feel better!

  4. J.... K....

    Peter Murphy is GOD

  5. T.... L....

    Classic solo Murphy. Standing the test of time in 2019.

  6. S.... B....

    This might illuminate a bit more what The Line is being constantly referred to on this album:

    Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) says,

    “This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways or you will become cut off from His Way. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will have taqwa.” [1]

    The Straight Path is the path which Allāh has summoned us to, and that is the Sunnah. The other paths are the paths of the dissenters who deviate from the Straight Path, and they are the People of Innovation. What is not meant by other ways is the paths of disobedience because no one makes disobedience a path that he continuously walks in imitation of the Legal Law, rather this description specifically holds true for the newly invented innovations.

    Evidence for this lies in what Ismāīl was narrated from Sulaimān b. Harb: Hammad b. Zayd narrated to us; from ʿĀsim b. Bahdalah; from Abū Wa’il; from ʿAbdullāh [b. ʿAbbās] who said, ‘One Day the Messenger (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) drew a long, straight line for us,’ and then Sulayman drew a long, straight line for us. ‘Then he drew lines to its right and to its left and said, “This is the Path of Allāh.” Then he drew lines to its right and to its left and said, “These are different paths, upon each of these ways is a devil calling to it,” and then he recited the verse,

    “This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways…” [2]

    meaning these paths

    “…or you will become cut off from His Way.” [3]’

    S.... B....

    Thank you for Illuminating us on that. I always thought that Arabic was such a beautiful language and wished I could understand what they were saying. I know that he's Islamic because he married and Islamic woman. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I hope he didn't lose fans because of it. But anyway, thank you. I think it's awesome that you actually knew what that meant.

  7. A.... C....

    YHVH (chorus)

  8. I.... B....

    possibly my favorite peter murphy track.. absolutely massive

    I.... B....

    I know right me too. It's just so dang catchy like it makes me want to get up and dance or just get my shit started that I have meaning to do around the house. It just makes me feel better about my life like I'm going to have hope that even though things are going shity right now or whatever that they will get better. I don't know why it does that to me, it just does.

  9. H.... ....

    Peter is a musician that never wavered from making the music they envisioned.

    The day grows older.
    The moon appears in a mirror
    A fire side mirror
    A distant walker
    Hears the words
    Go do good deeds
    So you feel OK
    The moon and the sun
    Partners in light
    Separating reflecting one light
    Hearing this confusion wanes
    No need to ask for wealth
    Or one thing more now

    And the night
    Feels the same
    As a cool hot summers climb
    With the voice
    Comes no shame
    As the walker walks the line
    The day grows older
    The moon appears
    Reflecting on his heart
    Heavy weighed and pierced
    The walker looks at his days
    Bad deeds gone by
    For which he must pay
    The moon and the sun
    Partners in light
    Separating reflecting one light
    Hearing this confusion wane
    Another image hits
    The seven veils of mind
    But the night
    Feels the same
    As a cool hot summers climb
    With the voice comes no shame
    As the walker hunts the line

    D.... C....
