Vnv Nation - Where There Is Light Lyrics

The carousel begins to slow, I take my chances
So far removed, I fail to see
The recklessness I've shown in all my words and deeds
The good in other souls I never fail to see

Can you see the light
As far as the eyes can see
From this point above the world
Where mortals dare their destiny
As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light

In want of courage
It is a shield for me
In want of hope
It reassures and carries me
As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light

Letting go was never easy
Risking all for what I wanted, never needed
Deliberated whether I should serve the cause of greater things
As we moved worlds apart

Can you see the light
As far as the eyes can see
From this point above the world
Where mortals dare their destiny
As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light

The greatest words would still fail me now
These emotions I cannot describe
I want to be where I don't need to hide myself
And remain there until the end of time

The gods play games with mortal hearts
As the carousel goes 'round
As I looked on,
I saw the crowds who gathered walk away

Can you see the light
As far as the eyes can see
From this point above the world
Where mortals dare their destiny
As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light

In want of courage
It is a shield for me
In want of hope
It reassures and carries me
As it radiates, may I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light
