Chrome - VNV Nation

A million faces, each a million lies

For each and all a chrome disguise

Prompts for action force reaction

Embody promise in a sheen so pure

Hurt, the measure of blind ambition

The testament to your singular disease

Against all wisdom you heed no warning

Your desires giving you away

If I could change your mind

I wouldn’t save you from the path you wander

In desperation dreams any soul can set you free

And I still hear you scream

In every breath, in every single motion

Burning innocence the fire to set you free

Your actions turn conquest to dust

In portents of fate you foolishly place trust

Sense fear in your broken breathing

Resort to shadows till your body expires

All creation has the promise of heaven

And still you travel the road to hell

I’m saying nothing for the good of myself

But I’m still talking and you’re not listening

If I could change your mind

I wouldn’t save you from the path you wander

In desperation dreams any soul can set you free

And I still hear you scream

In every breath, in every single motion

Burning innocence the fire to set you free

As night descends upon the city

The streets are cold, the lights go by

And in the stories of the people

A million faces, a million lies

They’ll never say they feel what you feel

That they can see the world you see

And in their faces, their expressions

A million faces, a million lies
