Where There Is Light - VNV Nation

The carousel begins to slow

I’ll take my chances

So far removed I’ll 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 as 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 as 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
