Vnv Nation are an electronic music band originally from Wexford and London, now based in Hamburg, that combines elements of trance, synthpop and electronic body music (EBM), into what they call futurepop. Earlier works also include some electro-industrial influences. The members are Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson. The "VNV" in the name stands for Victory, not Vengeance, in keeping with the group's motto, "One should strive to achieve; not sit in bitter regret." Wikipedia

Vnv Nation - Solitary

Set me aflame and cast me free Away you wretched world of tethers Through the endless night and day I have never wanted more. Always thought that I would stand Before the faceless name of Justice Like some law unto myself Like a child of God again.
And if rain brings winds of change Let it rain on us forever I have no doubts from what I've seen I have never wanted more. With this line I'll mark the past As a symbol of beginning I have no doubt from what I've seen I have never wanted more.
In this picture stands a man Far away, alone and distant Like a solitary field In some nameless foreign land. All around him points of light Start to dim and cease transmitting Shadows fell on futile games And then there was nothing more. Through the screams of falling steel By the light of flares and wisdom All the doubts I could not face All this time I wanted more. With a line I mark the past As a symbol of beginning To the gods whose names we've lost And the names who gave in vain.
And if rain brings winds of change Let it rain on us forever I have no doubts from what I've seen I have never wanted more. With this line I'll mark the past As a symbol of beginning I have no doubt from what I've seen I have never wanted more.
Set me aflame and cast me free Away you wretched world of tethers Through the endless night and day I have never wanted more. Always thought that I would stand Before the faceless name of Justice Like some law unto myself Like a child of God again.
And if rain brings winds of change Let it rain on us forever I have no doubts from what I've seen I have never wanted more. With this line I'll mark the past As a symbol of beginning I have no doubt from what I've seen I have never wanted more.
Sever the line to the guilty past To the ones who brought us nothing Spoke of futures brave and proud And brought only have and war. Line the roads with hollow praise Mark the land with paper statues Shadows fell on their futile ways And then there was nothing more.
Simply the best music ( and lyrics) I've heard in a long time, too bad they're not playing the US-Mexico border area. Honour is a total truth//Simplemente la mejor musica (y letras) escuchadas en mucho tiempo, lo malo es que sus giras no contemplan la frontera entre EUA-Mexico. Lean Honour//Kharoshaya Mu3bIka, Spasiba!
