VNV Nation Lyrics

Album: Advance And Follow

Serial Code Lyrics

In a face, a view, through eyes this world collides

I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us Back to innocence

Short, sharp, bloodlust, reality

In despair I reach for night

In water purity reigns to be resolute

As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings

Sow our angers and our strengths

All too obsessed by weakness

we have brought ourselves to meaninglessness

So easy to control, bring to harm

A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain

I collect my thoughts

And I rise above all that despises me

Comprehend the ways of man

And under a flag we salute or burn

There is blood on both shores

With hardened mind I traveled

With hardened heart I conquered

A freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical

There is anger resolute

Rears its familiar head on the TV screen

In a dozen bags a life was placed

In a breath he smiled and waved

Five minutes at a time the power held true

Without consternation our laws are lost

Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual

Another tag, another headline

Another smiling photograph shall stay ten winters long forever

And where are the angels to guard?

Where is the God of men and children?

He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls

And I know it's right 'cause I know it's time for freedom:

To kill another, and to kill another, and to kill another child of the flag till there are none left

And another, and to kill another, and to kill another
