Veiled in Grey

As the silk now shrouds my shaking body
I move into the light of the radiant sun
A skeleton from my dark past reaches out
And with fear I am frozen, weighing a ton

Veiled in grey to hide my beautiful hair
Sad tears of denial fall from light eyes
Oppressed in man's world; a time so unfair
Simplicity reigns king forever disguised

Sins are kept locked by a key of destruction
Red Lipstick hidden to paint seductive lips
In these dreams I dance as a majestic queen
Shaking to the drumming with undulating hips

Kings enter from a nomadic land of my youth
A vibe given off says "innocence betrayed"
Holding on tight as I wrap tighter the veil
Chagrined blood would take place if I swayed

Pandora's box remains locked below ground
Death would be certain if it were revealed
So I move away from the fire burning inside
This Pharaonic dance be forever concealed
