Angel Falls 05:36
A blond haired girl trys out for a play She gets the part and danced all day Got her wings and learned to fly By the moon, through the clouds, stars and sky The man in the moon blew her a kiss But it got lost in the clouds and missed The twinkle in the star caught her eye She did not look and flew right by ~~~~~~~ chorus ~~~~~~~ And the angel falls, caught sleeping with the star And the angel falls, seems she forgot her line And the angel falls, heaven seems so very far and the angel falls, life seems so unkind ~~~~~~~~~ Night after night and day after day Through every act and each matinee She made the angel pure and sweet And hoped their eyes would never meet Then one day, we remember when They locked eye's and hearts and then Without a sound, without a motion She gave the star complete devotion ~~~~~~~ chorus ~~~~~~~ The speech each night that he gave She put them in her heart to save But in the end she was just a part The season was over before it could start The star would bow and leave her behind And all she saved, forgotten in time That fateful night she donned her wings And flew past the stars without any strings

Demon Box 05:13
Took a look inside / To let the demons in Opened up my soul / To all the things they did Liked the taste of sin / Like butterfly's in Spring Every time I let them in / I'd sample what they'd bring ~~~~~~~~ chorus I watched the crucifixion Kept Christ on the cross Turned my back on ressurec tion I didn't mind the loss I broke all my promises Washed myself of guilt I played among the ruins That my hands had built ~~~~~~~~~~~ Tired of the light / Of living like a saint Hopeless situations / That my mind would paint Can't live under pressure / Life runs up a glass Kept waiting for an answer / To only see it pass ~~~~~~~~~~~~ chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~ I still believe / But left hope along the way I know I will receive / Judgement for my ways Can't live for tomorrow / Only for today Don't look at me with sorrow / Or close your eye's to pray
4.
Angels sing / Spin pirouettes above her She walks in beauty / So full of grace, I love her The only one who knows my soul The only one who can make me whole ~~~~~~~~~ Loyal and true / My heart pumps blood for her Full of Sorrow's joy / My true lover The only one who knows my soul The only one who can make me whole ~~~~~~~~~ And where she goes, she goes She knows I'll follow after Through a sea of glass I'd swim to hear her laughter ~~~~~ When she looks down on me From her pedestal The fire in her eye's Leaves me empty and full ~~~~~~ Life and limb / I'd surely loose these things for a spark and flame / Love's a consuming thing The only one who knows my soul The only one who can make me whole

about

Twenty five years ago, Phil Meads, Sean Doty and I were introduced by a common friend, Batz in the Belfry artist Nelson Di Marco.

At that first rehearsel we went from Depeche Mode to The Damned by way of The Mission UK.

"Three chords and the truth", although it was first said by U2, it became our battle cry.

We wanted to speak the truth in all it's unvarnished glory, beauty and sorrow.

We did everything in the post-punk ethic of "do it yourself.

Through struggle and self promotion we rose to become the only alternative band in the Bay Area that could sell out a club on our name alone.

We played with the biggest alternative artists of the day.......Chris Issack, The Psychedelic Furs, The Ocean Blue, Social Distortion...ad nauseaum.

We had never meant ourselves to be a church band, 'and there in lies
the rub"

The list goes on......and so does life.....

Over seven years we had many personal changes but, Sean and I remained the constant factor.

Everyone who was a member of "Veil" left their own indelible mark on the sound and personality of the band..............

And without whom there would not have been a continuing "Veil"..............

I listen to these tracks and am transported to a time when it was "three young men against the world".

I hope you enjoy this compilation of old and "new" Veil as much as I do still.

With all my love and affection,

~ Brian Kirsch (who is better known as "Sterling, the only and ever bassist of "Veil of Ashes")
