Song Description
This is the story of two people of different color, living in a time and place where mixed relationships was taboo. They are passionately in love but have been holding on to their secret for quite some time.
They are represented in the chorus as paper sky lanterns heading away from where they are, looking down on the quiet(conservative) people as they head to another place where they can be who they are.

Lyrics
Love Under Veil
Quiet people gather, they look to the sky
Eyes open wide, Blinded by disguise
Flicker of the candels, twilight serenade
the lamps of hope depart, a warm moonlit breeze
They say that we are different
held by these chains
my heart speaks so strong,
our bond can feel no pain
innocence so pure, passion ours alone
the love the touch how you've
turned my heart a glow.
Purple for the love
yellow for the touch
Let's fly together ever
Two paper lanterns sent to the sky
Two lovely colors you and I
holding our secret bond oh so frail
floating up so far away
love under veil
Let's soar to distant mountains, start life anew
far from this land, share what we know true
you are mine my love, we are one the same
one heart, one soul, and we'll always be this way
Purple for the love
yellow for the touch
Let's fly together ever
Two paper lanterns sent to the sky
Two lovely colors, you and I
holding our secret, bond oh so frail
floating up so far away, love under veil, love under veil,
love under veil.....love.
