Electric Sun from Electric Sun by VNV Nation

ALL THE GOOD ARE DREAMING
LOCKED IN HALF-FORGOTTEN LORE
PROCLAIMING – “WE ARE FREE!”
AND SULLENLY OBEY

IS IRONY A MUSE?
DICHOTOMY EMBELLISHED
IN A WORLD THAT KNOWS NO LOVE
IN A WORLD THAT KNOWS NO HATE

HALF OF ME IS GONE
THE REST WILL SOON BE LEAVING
ALL TRACE ERASED IN RAIN
VANITY IS FLEETING

AND SO, THE FALL FROM GRACE
OH GOD, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?
THE VICTIMS VENERATE

OR AM I ONLY DREAMING?

THERE’RE RUMOURS OF A SAINT
A WRATH INCARNATE, RINGED IN FLAME
THE RIGHTEOUS COWER AND HIDE
FEARING PUNISHMENT AND BLAME
BEYOND THIS THERE IS NOTHING
IN DUTY ALL WILL PRAY

AND ARE WE ONLY DREAMING?

THE DECLINE OR THE ASCENSION
AIMLESS, FAILING, SELF-ASSURED
THE RIGHTEOUS PATH TO DESTINY
THAT HUMANITY WON’T ENDURE

ARTIFICIAL, RINGING HOLLOW
LAMENTS FOR WHAT IS GONE
RUNNING BACKWARDS
CRYING “FORWARD”
LIKE A BATTLE CAN BE WON

HOW CAN ANYONE PLACE TRUST IN FATE
WHEN HOPES ARE LEFT TO DIE?
UNCARING OF THE COMMON PLIGHT
UNLESS FORCED TO CARE AND CRY

WE’RE PARTICLES IN MOTION
WE CAN’T ACCEPT WE’VE NO CONTROL
RACING HELPLESS THROUGH THE ÆTHER
STARING OUTWARD FROM THE WORLD

OR AM I ONLY DREAMING?
ARE WE ONLY DREAMING OF THE ELECTRIC SUN?
