Before the Rain

VNV Nation

5

Flash backward to the time

Your silhouette disguised

The glow of night′s reflection

Your outline locked in phase

Like a vivid, liquid haze

Lit up the night electric

A moment staged for us

Until we turn to dust

Until time's evaporated

But were we ever there

Enraptured, unaware?

We were lovers only dreaming

We dared eternity and won

Long before the rain had come

We built a universe

We held a cosmos in our hands

Unstoppable force, the purest light

To set the firmament alight

We built a universe

So we could hold the cosmos in our hands

The switch turned to engage

The power rushed and raged

Lit up your face electric

Lightspeed in a dream

The static bursts, the stream

The ultrasonic strains of music

Revived in youth again

With each step as we claim

Shattered mirrors in the rainfall

But were we ever there

Enraptured, unaware?

We were lovers only dreaming

We dared eternity and won

Long before the rain had come

We built a universe

We held a cosmos in our hands

Unstoppable force, the purest light

To set the firmament alight

We built a universe

So we could hold the cosmos in our hands
