Verum Æternus - VNV Nation

If you and I

Had been anything less

Than these tormented souls

We would never have gone so far

To become what we are

If you and I

Had never seen the world

Through the eyes of a child

We would never have wanted to stop time

Sleepers passing by

If you and I

Had been anything less

Than these disenfranchised minds

We would have looked the other way

As we passed each other by

And for the things I know

From the broken all I ask

Is to look beyond this place

Stop staring at the ground

Thinking only what went wrong

I know there are days

Too dark or hard to take

I hope you know

This is just one day you’ll have to face

This is not the whole of your life

This is one day

This is one day

This is one day

One day

Out of all of your life

One day

Out of all of your life
