A Million - VNV Nation

The night, presaged by a dying sun

The life and times of ascent and fall

The dance has commenced in the fading glow

A wall of pitch for the dying of light

Protect us, keep us from all that would harm

Encircle, encompass, guard over us all

Give up, give in

Light the night on fire

It sears, it derides and it leads us to fall

Walk on, walk through imitations of hell

The movement, the rhythm

The drums from afar

The guilty are hanging from the killing tree

The cries from the depths in unison sing

Forgotten, abandoned, graceless and scorned

Pleading unheeded

The millions unknown

Walk on, walk on till dawn has come

The relentless unceasing of a million calls

I know you too well and I know you by name

I fought you, I defeated you time and again

I endure, I resist what is killing me

An image invoked

Like a visage of hell

Submit to temptation

Taunting my soul

Unlock these restraints

Oh save us all

Hold on, hold on till dawn has come

Endure and persist, no mercy without

The world in it’s slumber has time on its side

Safe, unaware in a million dreams

Love joins, unites

Love breaks us apart

The power to conquer here in our hearts

Enduring and sacred

Eternal as time

For love, love alone will conquer all
