Текст: Vnv Nation. Burning Empires. Standing.

Eyes betray the soul and bare its thinking
Beyond words they say so many things to me
A stranger here reborn, it seems
Awaking wonders deep in me
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained
So I must seize the day

And fighting time, so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?
Through my eyes stare into me
I bare my heart for all to see
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still

It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't anything
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me
I let the wind run through my hands
As I turned to walk away
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?
Through my eyes stare into me
I bear my heart for all to see
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still

And fighting time so much I ask
Will this moment last forever?
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me and fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?

I had no faith before that time in any vow or deed
Days followed days and years were meaningless
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen
