Descent - VNV Nation

All God’s children would have cause

To think the Devil now walks this realm

A place dispossessed of any sanity

Edification of a scene from hell

Man made prophecies serve to vindicate

All sides who claim themselves

Worthy servants obedient to the same God

A God who commands them not to kill

These faithful in lines that number thousands

Bring perdition throughout the land

As though the angel of death himself had been unleashed

To exact a punishment upon this world

Across this cursed place rage the fires

Where the innocent are burned

On a thousand funeral pyres

In anguish parted from this world

Does the need for the belief in the Devil

Serve to palliate and forgive our sins

In the abandonment of reason and delivery unto hell

Limitless are the ways of mankind in its virulent capacities

Ironic it may seem, through this a chance exists to see

In us also lies the capacity to transcend
