The Farthest Star - VNV Nation

The will to greatness clouds the mind

Consumes the senses, veils the signs

We each are meant to recognize

Redeeming graces cast aside

Enduring notions, new found promise

That the end will never come

We live in times when all seems lost

But time will come when we’ll look back

Upon ourselves and on our failings

Embrace the void even closer still

Erase your doubts as you surrender everything

We possess the power

If this should start to fall apart

To mend divides

To change the world

To reach the farthest star

If we should stay silent

If fear should win our hearts

Our light will have long diminished

Before it reaches the farthest star

Wide awake in a world that sleeps

Enduring thoughts, enduring scenes

The knowledge of what is yet to come

From a time when all seems lost

From a dead man to a world

Without restraint, unafraid and free

We possess the power

If this should start to fall apart

To mend divides

To change the world

To reach the farthest star

If we should stay silent

If fear should win our hearts

Our light will have long diminished

Before it reaches the farthest star

If we fall and break

All the tears in the world cannot make

Us whole

Again

We possess the power

If this should start to fall apart

To mend divides

To change the world

To reach the farthest star

If we should stay silent

If fear should win our hearts

Our light will have long diminished

Before it reaches the farthest star
