VNV Nation - Forsaken (vocal version)

Lyrics:

When I have nothing left to feel.
When I have nothing left to say
I'll just let this slip away.

I feel these engines power down.
I feel this heart begin to bleed
as I turn this burning page.

Please forgive me if I bleed.
Please forgive me if I breathe.
I have words I need to say.
Oh so very much to say.

And whose life do I lead?
And whose blood do I bleed?
Whose air do I breathe?
With whose skin now do I feel?

I'm supposed to walk away from here.
I'm supposed to walk away from here.

And whose life do I lead?
Whose blood do I bleed?
Whose air do I now breathe?
I'm convinced there's nothing more.

The day you died I lost my way.
The day you died I lost my mind.

What am I supposed to do?
Is there something more?

The engines power down.
Like a soldier to his end I go.
Because I'm convinced
that there is nothing more.

and whose life do I lead
and whose air do I breathe?
With whose skin and whose blood do I feel?

What happens now?
Have I done something wrong?

Forgive my need to bleed right now.
Please forgive my need to breathe
But I've so much to say
and it wouldn't matter anyway.
You're not here to hear these words that I must say
and I'm convinced inside
that there is nothing more.

Whose life do I lead?
Whose air do I breathe.
Whose blood do I now bleed?
With whose skin now do I feel?

I have nothing left to say.
I have nothing left to feel.
Am I supposed to let this go now,
let darkness come and take you away?

[Emily R]

Is this version on the Solitary EP?

[LHPscandinavia]

Yes it is...

[sacralith]

This version is tough to find and I'm glad its posted. This version is to much of a downer to make my playlist but its one of m favorite songs VNV does.

[LHPscandinavia]

Its really good. And yes, really hard to find! So, I wanted to share this. The idea is to make you Listen, not just watch a fancy video. Enjoy! :)

[Renate Løvlien]

I cried the first time I heard this song. Just because of the part saying;

"The day you died I lost my way.

The day you died I lost my mind."

It remembered me of my uncle who died in march this year. :'(

[sacralith]

Beloved helped me through harder things than this one but some think that beloved is something like a follow up to this song. this is pain, beloved is acceptance.. they both make me cry.

[domNatey]

i cry today at the same part, just because of my grandfather. he died 9 years ago. the day, my whole live has changed.

RIP glory big man.

[Akiko43]

They soon come to Munich and I can't go there ;_;

[VampireAkis]

it talks to my heart like a melody which comes from his soul. T.T

i cant help it, i always sing along then i

burst out into tears.

[B0dYB04rd]

incredible song !!!!! incredible group !! amaiiizing lyrics !!

[Phantasmagorie Traeumer]

That's Synthpop and not Techno ;) I like the "Melody of this Track, it has a great symbiosis with the Voice of Ronan... It makes me melancholic ~.~

(Sry for my bad english *smile*)

[Colegade]

The live version from Pastperfect is way better, (IMO) Forsaken was improvised on the spot while on tour with Covenant in 98' and recorded on Solitary EP as an afterthought. I've always considered the PastPerfect version to be the base due to the quality and refined styling as VNV progressed.

[myztic123]

it isn't even techno

[UnmercyfulDeath]

:S this song would be better not as a techo. the techno over rides the awesome lyrics. at some parts you can barely hear them.

but despite that, it's an awesome song ^^.

[Jahyawhan]

Its a sample from the movie Jacobs Ladder
