Text: VNV Nation. Burning Empires. Standing (motion).

:
Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
Beyond words, they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems,
Awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained,
So I must seize the day.

It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't anything.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run throuch my hands
Before I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still, at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun,
There ever standing still.

And fighting time, so much I ask,
I will this moment last forever
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that time in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat,
I bore my heart for all to see
The wonders I'd seen.
The wonders I'd seen.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still
At least for me.
Through my eyes, stare into me,
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun,
There ever standing still.

And fighting time, so much I ask,
I will this moment last forever
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me
