O Shrouded One... !
O Mysterious, unfathomable shrouded one...
Must you don such a cover that engulfs you?
Rendering you nil, faceless and uncounted......
Oh Mystery...o secrecy

The unwanted sorrow to be kept inside.
How must I know about you?
To rescue you, to understand you...
How do I get to see the face?
Your mystery has kept me in a daze...
