Procession - VNV Nation

I sat above them all and watched for days

I felt as though my own kind

Were all that mattered and kept me sane

I gathered them to me

Watched their hunted pass away

As if direction had finally come

A resurrection for all ourselves

I have never felt so proud

As I do now

Like the sun is placed behind me

Feelings that matter never end

One day we’ll see our names

In stone where fires burn

The great who silent stood among you never

Praised nor never known

Our thoughts defined the passing days

Sensed the spirit, seized the age

After all these years to dream again

Like smiling children with faces raised

Cheering their path, tomorrow’s glory days

And we who were so scorned

Will always wish to make their end

Our words to still their voice

Our hands to break their worthless necks

One day we’ll see our names

In stone where fires burn

The great who silent stood among you

Never praised nor never known

Our thoughts defined the passing days

Sensed the spirit, seized the age

After all these years to dream again

Like smiling children with faces raised

Cheering their path, tomorrow’s glory days

And we who were so scorned

Will always wish to make their end

Our words to still their voice

Our hands to break their worthless necks
