Illustrating Music

My husband has written and sung a song cycle called "Cardunne", unfortunately the only copies we have recorded are distorted so I can't post them. But the music and song story is great, and I did this picture based on the song below as a Christmas gift for him back in the late 80's. 
Burning Veil
by Don Hooper

Laying down a book, he sighs
And the memories stir behind his eyes
With the fall of darkness on the land
And he pauses there to touch my hand
As he leaves to walk within the darkness again

Burning Veil
Shimmering on the edge I look beyond
And Burning Veil
Sears my skin with fire that knows no light
A shadow in the night

Far away the song begins to stir
On the eve of darkness standing there
With a pause, a beat, a straining cry
In the wind your glowing hair will fly
And your eyes will call me ghostly with their light

Far away within a burning keep
With the flames about your face you leap
"Come away with me in passion's hold
Through the veil that burns your body cold
To my arms that glisten, circle you in their fold"

Burning Veil
Shimmering on the edge I look beyond
And Burning Veil
Sears my skin with fire that knows no light
A shadow in the night

To the wind I run upon a path
By the mountains echoing in her laugh
Round the cliff a tower far beyond
And a lady sings her chanting song
To a blade that pierces deep within my side

To the sky I search through blazing stars
For a hint of coolness in the air
For the pain that brings the Burning Veil
From the past it reaches through these walls
Of a man that cries his sorrow to all

Here the wind shrieks its frightening call
And I stop before a damning fall
Gaze into the blackness beyond
Step back, step back
Return, return
