VNV Nation Lyrics

Album: Advance And Follow

After Fire Lyrics

Over time desire shall fall and lie and fade

Await unequaled thought and virtuosity

Desire lies in wait, a precious cup, a stone or some such

Absent moments, ones which raised the heart to stand so great

Cannot choose not to deny

Blame falls easy silently

Darkness preferable, comfort found again

In solitude, a door into an empty room

A door to familiar desolation

The spoils of past years lost for reason

Lost for some notions of new days

Inside there is gentleness

Calm preceding tears

Oh, cry again, cry again

Moment of toil, moment of toil

Call the Gods to answer me

Hear me say, 'Oh, hear my pain!'

Call the Gods to answer me

Frika come! Frika come!

Promise and enlightenment abounded

Felled like trees and pillars that held me high

Running blind, running blind

On stony ground I stumble and vow return
