VNV Nation - When Is The Future lyrics
[VNV Nation - When Is The Future lyrics]
Stranger in a crowd treading fire after dark
Lost in a city pulsing to the sound
Of the spirit and soul
A city that is breathing
Living through the cables
Alive across the wires faces without names
Playing devils and angels
Lit up by the strobes moving hypnotized
I caught your reflection
In the neon on glass an electric silhouette
Against a static sky
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world I must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
Time moves so fast in a single direction
Fighting with the present
Racing from the past
We're searching for something
That can never satisfy
The reality of answers
When lives are on the line
I've waited a lifetime
For the age of wonder
A place that I remember
In a splinter of time
A stranger in a strange land
Caught in the flow
Still searching for answers
Among the neon lights
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world we must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world that must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
Lost in a city pulsing to the sound
Of the spirit and soul
A city that is breathing
Living through the cables
Alive across the wires faces without names
Playing devils and angels
Lit up by the strobes moving hypnotized
I caught your reflection
In the neon on glass an electric silhouette
Against a static sky
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world I must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
Time moves so fast in a single direction
Fighting with the present
Racing from the past
We're searching for something
That can never satisfy
The reality of answers
When lives are on the line
I've waited a lifetime
For the age of wonder
A place that I remember
In a splinter of time
A stranger in a strange land
Caught in the flow
Still searching for answers
Among the neon lights
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world we must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
It's a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection
A world that must survive
We're children of the past
Who look beyond today designing the present
So when is the future
We live in a dream keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection
A world that never dies the image we create
Now image we designed it's a beautiful life
So when is the future
