VNV Nation - Serial Killer lyrics

rate me

In a face a view, through eyes this world collides.

I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us back

to innocence.

Short, sharp, bloodlust reality.

In despair I reach for night,

in water purity reigns to be resolute.

As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings,

sow our angers and our strengths.

All too obsessed by weakness

we have brought ourselves to meaninglessness.

So easy to control, bring to harm.

A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain.

Ans I collect my thoughts

and I rise above all that despises me.

Comprehend the ways of man

and under a flag that we salute or burn

there is blood on both shores.

With hardened mind I travelled,

and with hardened heart I conquered

a freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical.

There is anger resolute.

Rears its familiar head on the TV screen.

In a dozen bags a life was placed.

In a breath he smiled and waved.

Five minutes at a time the power held true.

and without consternation our laws are lost.

Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual.

Another tag, another headline.

Another smiling photograph shall stay 10 winters long forever.

And where are the angels to guard?

Where is the God of men and children?

He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls.

I know it's right 'cause I know it's time for freedom:

to kill another and to kill another and to kill another child

of the flag till there are none left.

and another and to kill another and to kill another...

Gaze in horror at what you've become

and take a look at what you've done.

You'll repent for what you've done;

raping my daughter, raping my son.
