Distant (Rubicon II) - VNV Nation

The paths that I once tread

Have all but gone

Only embers now smoulder

Where bridges once burned

I feel alive and yet I fear

What may happen now

I know I can’t return

And I hear me say again 'Oh let me not return'

Damn the illusions of redemption

And the hopes that held me here

I will oppose all that would befall me With this rage inside of me

I’ll defy what I would become

This solitude and anger

That do battle inside of me Will always guide me to the answers

That I know I may not see

They are the bonds that hold me tighter

They are the chains that weigh on me One day, I know they will become

Can I start again

And erase this pain

By casting doubts into the waters

Asking judgement of the sea

Though fortune, you guide the fools

I have no wish to be free

Until I am gone
