Homeward

VNV Nation · Matter + Form

The hallowed lands so far behind



As fleeting dreams still linger



Like distant voices through the rain



Like grains of sand cast from my hands



I never thought I'd go this far



Without a star to cross the seas



So far from shores I'd left behind



Still far from shores I've yet to reach



I try to find the strength I need



To calm the doubts in my belief



With the will, I know my heart won't break



And if I have strength, then I've belief



If I have love, my heart still beats



Here under stars far from home



I try to find the strength I need



To calm the doubts in my belief



With the will, I know my heart won't break



And if I have strength, then I've belief



If I have love, my heart still beats



Here under stars far from home



The picture fades, the light recedes



The sound is lost in whispers



My recollections once clear and pure



Now distant lights that dim with time



I never thought I'd go this far



Without a star to cross the seas



So far from shores I'd left behind



Still far from shores I've yet to reach



I try to find the strength I need



To calm the doubts in my belief



With the will, I know my heart won't break



And if I have strength, then I've belief



If I have love, my heart still beats



Here under stars far from home



I try to find the strength I need



To calm the doubts in my belief



With the will, I know my heart won't break



And if I have strength, then I've belief



If I have love, my heart still beats



Here under stars far from home
