Where There Is Light

VNV Nation · Of Faith, Power and Glory [2009]

-The carousel begins to slow-

-I take my chances-

-So far removed, I failed to see-

-The recklessness I've shown-

-In all my words and deeds-

-The good in other souls-

-I never failed to see-



-Can you see your life-

-As far as the eyes can see-

-From this point above the world-

-Where mortals dare their destiny-

-As it radiates-

-Bare witness, open-eyed-

-Let me remain where there is light-



-In words of courage-

-It is as a shield for me-

-In words of hope-

-It reaches in and carries me-

-As it radiates-

-Bare witness, open-eyed-

-Let me remain where there is light-



-Letting go is never easy-

-Risking all for what I wanted, never needed-

-Deliberated whether I should serve the cause-

-Of greater things-

-As we moved worlds apart-



-Can you see your life-

-As far as the eyes can see-

-From this point above the world-

-Where mortals dare their destiny-

-As it radiates-

-Bare witness, open-eyed-

-Let me remain where there is light-



-The greatest words-

-Would still fail me now-

-These emotions I cannot describe-

-I want to be aware, I don't need to hide myself-

-And remain there until the end of time-



-The Gods play games with mortal hearts-

-As the carousel goes 'round-

-As I looked on-

-I saw the clouds-

-That gathered, walk away-



-Can you see your life-

-As far as the eyes can see-

-From this point above the world-

-Where mortals dare their destiny-

-As it radiates-

-Bare witness, open-eyed-

-Let me remain where there is light-



-In words of courage-

-It is as a shield for me-

-In words of hope-

-It reaches in and carries me-

-As it radiates-

-Bare witness, open-eyed-

-Let me remain where there is light-
