LYRICS :
Shadows of the Sun,
enraptured in the sound
Hypernormal frequencies
illuminating clouds
We televise the noise
to all that we can reach
The broadcasts preach the word
of better times and peace
We automate the lies
with images we fake
Machines to grant our every wish
when all we do is take!
To Apathy we drink
when dancing in the flames
A chance for us to celebrate
because all we do is wait!
Who has the most is King
Constructed to be served
so that which is destroyed
is cheered on while it burns
With nothing left to lose
and seconds ticking fast,
though time is running out,
all we do is laugh-
and hide among the crowd,
drowning in its noise,
in envy of the beautiful
facades of shallow grace
The best would try and fail,
feel helpless at the task
but lead as if they rule in hell
when all we do is wait!
Our fortunes running out
and our options running dry
With no one else to turn to,
still, we sit and cry
We’re dancing in the flames
to the sounds of our demise
Drinking to our apathy
because all we do is wait
The King, the sacred Crown,
the Chalice and the Mace
who rule over these famine lands
whose bounty goes to waste
A power that corrupts,
regaling this as fate
The waters rising to our necks
and all we do is wait
I swear every time VNV Nation releases another song I play it on repeat until my ears bleed. Such a killer beat and intense lyrics every time.
Chalice and the mace. What is that? Is that a UK thing?
Yes this describes it perfectly!
Pretty much accurate…
Weird thing to say
Great song. You're the only one "band" (that I know of) that can succeed to mix so well sadness/joy/spirituality/energy in each title. Thank you for allthose years spent with your beautiful music.✌🤟
Excellently put
Wieder einmal Gänsehaut 😁 danke,danke,danke ... Der Sound... Die Lyrics alles fließt und geht tief in jede Pore ❤❤❤❤
It's all about the words, the lyrics. I understand the criticism that the beats are derivative, but that's not why I listen to VNV. It's poetry and inspiration...the best part of my life the past 20 years. Thank you, Ronan, for the inspiration you've shone in my life. Hope you still have a "hat guy" here in Milwaukee since we all miss seeing you here.
the beats are maybe (sometimes) derivative (like everything today ) but some (many) of their songs have GREAT music. Like for example Before the Rain that has a fantastic melody and mood.
Lol every thing is derivative since time began its all come from something else includibg the critic
Its always been about his voice and lyrics really - though arguably, there is stuff from the Empires era that I thought was really cutting edge at the time for electronic music, and not just the lyrics/vocals.
@@Arshay i dont agree , i think voice and lyrics will not work if not supported by GREAT music/melodies/refrains... As much as the lyrics in From my hands, Gratitude, Perpetual, All our Sins, When is the Future , Nova, Lights go Out, Before the rain, Beloved .are great they would not work without that excellent music.
@@matthewrowe9903 You're completely right.
Thank you, Ronan, for always writing anthems that get to the heart of the human condition-the ugly as well as the beautiful. Our apathy will indeed destroy us. I'm so grateful I have songs like these to blast + sing along with at the top of my lungs when I'm pissed and frustrated with the world as it is. (See: "All Our Sins") #catharsis

Love!
such rich messages
i love this comment
Ronan is like some celestial conductor who guides the waveform from our collective souls - reassures it, understands it, shapes it and then releases it so it may give life to these otherworldly symphonies.
TLDR: Goddamn I Love VNV
The songs just keeps getting better. Glad to have my summer soundtrack almost here. Thank you boys.
I'm just discovering VNV (thanks to this song). Totally hooked, I can't stop listening. New songs everyday. Thinking things I've never thought. Feeling things I've never felt. Absolutely incredible.
Ronan, you are my ultimate favorite artist, I've been a true fan since discovering you in 1999. Your music has served as anthems that have pulled me out of some really dark moments. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift of yours with us.
Jaiided Lynx 1999? Same here! Saw them as the opening act for Apoptygma Berserk, in a bar, on the U.S. Praise the Fallen Tour. Been a fan ever since.
1999 !!! same here ... his songs bring me back to life so many times
Einfach nur geil die Band

You can find them in the description of the video.
Exactly what I love about VNV Nation - ominous tune about mankind dancing at the end of the world, enjoying themselves as everything around them dissolves. Yet the music instills strength and power. In Before the Rain we had an intimate song, and Wait can't have a broader scope. And both are exquisite! Excellent, excellent.
Never clicked so fast...
EDIT: I think i just travelled through all the VnV albums, from Advance and Follow to Noire. I missed a bit the old agressive drops, but the OG industrial percussion was there. The video is stunning, i loved it. I need to hear it more times to identify all the lyrics (english is not my first language), but what i heard until now is AWESOME. Well done Ronan and the whole VnV crew
The lyrics are in the video description
@@NineBerry oh...
Vnv Nation is a solo project,Ronan uses session musicians when he plays live
@@gabbycyber9917 i know. But i meant in a general spectrum, including the live sessions
“We’re dancing in the flames to sounds of our demise…” basically yeah. 🥰
Ich hab mich noch nie so auf ein Album gefreut ❤❤❤❤❤
Ronan du bist der beste ❤
WOW! Einfach nur grandios! Danke für deine/eure Empathie auf der Bühne, für die Lyrics und die vielen bisherigen VNV-Momente. Kann es kaum erwarten, dass endlich der 28. April ist!
Every new song with the potential to be my next favorite song. Ready to dance on the next concert, screaming out the lyrics to that damn world at the top of my lungs.
Second VNV music video ever out of nowhere??
Looks like so
Hush... don't curse it!
@@LM-vw5sr Xdddddddd
They announced the release of the single a few weeks ago. It's also past midnight in Germany as of the posting of this video.
@@sontastabica4532 well yes, but they didn't say that it would be a MV
Been a fan since 1999-present
My god, how do you keep making such amazing music?
VNV...making my heart beat since the first I heard you, more than 15 years ago. ❤
Just finished the song. Listen first than comment. But man, oh man. VNV Nation is back. I hope entire album is that good
You still got it, guys. God bless you. Thank you for coming back to us.
Mega Song und Video!!! Danke für deine wunderbare und einzigartige Musik ! Sie berührt und beeindruckt mich immer wieder auf's Neue. Freue mich schon auf's Album!🙏❤️🖤
Mi banda favorita por siempre VNV Nation You cure my heart ❤
Powerfull VNV NATION... What a great évolution of your sound since "Genesis" in 2001.
You're the FUTUREPERFECT of synth music.
ThankYou !!!
So on point with what is going on in this world, set to beautiful music. Thank you for this ❤️
Ich freue mich so auf das Album und auf das Konzert ❤
Ronan, you're not only a synth-virtuosos; but, also master at observing and recording our social deficiencies in the most beautiful way through your music. You are always reminding ourselves that, as flawed as we all are, there remains a spark of hope, if we decide to actually use "It", instead of ignoring the signs, as most people will. We laugh at the seriousness of today's World Problems, hoping they'll pass along the way of time; but, waiting has been humanities fatal flaw throughout history. People watch injustice happen and say, "I didn't cause that to happen, because I'm not responsible for what my grandfather did ...."
When indeed: It's a human responsibility to unravel our flawed past; to become empathetic to it's plight; to become and remain attuned to the "trigger's" and "circumstance's" of flawed thinking to confront the issues; to become impassioned to do what's "right", over what's easy and convenient ― Perhaps, I yearn for the impossible, but challenging through impossibilities' is exactly what we've done before. I try to remain as hopeful as you, Ronan .....!!!!
This is what your music does to me and I adore every second of your gifts.
VNV does not wait..Mr. Harris delivers..!!! Late..but...still as hoped..in the quality as supposed..as awaited!!! Beneath all these musical tragedies we suffered from these days..the new album shines already through this nasty scrub..against all our fears..it will cover what we yearned!!! Recovery of our wounded hearts&souls!!! With respect...thank you..Sir!
Als VNV NATION Fan der ersten Stunde muss ich einfach mal sagen : Dieser Song ist fantastisch und einzigartig. Ein Meisterwerk das an Klassiker wie Solitary nahtlos anknüpft. Ich bin begeistert. Danke für all die schöne Musik und vor allem WAIT. Alles Gute weiterhin 🍀🍀🍀, Andreas Ohle (Explizit Einsam)
Das ist der absolute Superlativ!
Bin dermaßen begeistert!🤩🤩🤩
Anyone else hearing hints of Precipice in this song?
I was also thinking Suffer. Good direction though, those B-side tracks on Reformation were some of my favorites.
this song is so greeaaat.. it gave me energy when i was most desperate to continue with life.. and so well produced. after that song i listened to most of your other ones. thank you for making such beatiful music :)
Wutmusik gibt Lebenskraft und Energie. Wut geht raus aus dem Körper....
Und man wird leichter.
Mach ich auch so.
Alles Gute für dich.
SO GREAT! Love these Lyrics so much, from first Moment I read! Runs deep, absolutely! Thank you, VNV Nation for being Part of my Life since I got "Nova" recommanded from a good Friend of Mine! Masterpiece, that makes my whole Day today...Feeling so blessed 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can't explain how MUCH I feel blessed by so many, so heart-warming & beloved Songs in all these years...haha...Wuhuuu! Thanks from the bottom of my Heart!
Masterpiece as always !! Pure poetry.. Outstanding rythm.... Thank you again and again Ronan and VNV for all !!!
Da fehlt am Anfang noch zusätzlich die Warnung: „Obacht! Killt deinen Subwoofer!“ 😆
Combined with Before the Rain and the other new tracks we got to hear on tour, this one makes me feel that Electric Sun is going to be an amazing album! Two more weeks! Can’t wait!
First few seconds and it’s already 🔥🔥🔥
Ce morceau a plus qu'un petit quelque chose d'exceptionnel ! Il prend vraiment aux tripes...
Brilliant 👏 thank you very relevant to today's society
Solid track. If the entire album is like this, I'm gonna enjoy it a lot.
Greetings from Brazil! I've been listening since 2005, and I'm always surprised by the quality of all the songs!💖
Awesome !!! VNV doing their best !!! Great dance track !!! Electronic in the veins !!!!!
Gelungenes Musik-Video! Ich mag diese Visualisierung.
Hello from France … oh what a masterpiece again. We already know that the new album will be great. After seeing you in Paris I would like to say thank you VNV nation because this concert made me fell alive …
To all you fighting Macron , Vive La France !
US tour please!
Unübertroffen, ich liebe Eure Musik 🖤 VNV für immer.
Freuen uns auf Euren Besuch in Hamburg !!!😍👍
Yup, you can definitely bring this to NYC. We celebrate it even before it arrives.
Obacht, blitzt wie Sau...😎😎 sonnenbrille uff setzen!!
einfach g... wir haben Euch in Dresden im Alten Schlachthof gesehen (schon paar Jahre her) jederzeit wieder.
Fette Synth-Line. Classic VNV 👍
Ich kann Ronan sagen hören: "Obacht, das blitzt wie Sau!" 🤣. Sehr geiles Lied
Achtung: Das Rockt Wie S4U!!!
Geil!!! One of my favourite Industrial Band ❤❤
Truth is often best digested when delivered by great artists, and VNV Nation is truly one of the best our generation has yielded. It is also the generation which created this musical reflection, a gothic symbol. Get involved in life if you want to change it.
Yes. I'm going to need more of this. Definitely a lot more.
I'm so very glad you exist, Ronan.
Vnv nation ❤❤❤❤desde México
I was lucky to see VNV nation in Pittsburgh last week. Such an amazing show! Thanks for the good times.
I seen them in Cleveland. It was a great show!
Ronan👍👍👏
I will always remember the first time you performed in the states. In that little club in Colorado Springs, with just one album, you performed Dark Angel twice for us as the second was your encore. Good times!
For me, clearly the most haunting/best song of the album. Been a VNV nation fan since 2009. Had been unhappily in love for a short time in that year, and what could have been better in this time than listening to VNV's albums on UA-cam already back then :)
I so feel the intensity of this song. Very reflective. Great message about some difficult circumstances. Thank You! I’ve beeb so happy hearing new music from VNV!
Mega 🤩
Por favor, Ronnan.... Que IMPRESIONANTE, lo has vuelto a hacer, sin palabras y bellos de punta
thank you for another great VNV Nation Song calls wait. Greetings from Germany
DOPENESS
Das blitzt wie Sau!
Woow ♥️🖤 i can't wait for the show in Barcelona 💣🧨
Meinen ersten Liebeskuss hatte ich zu einem Lied von wem? :) Ihr wart eine Macht in meiner Jugend und ihr seid es im meinen, jetzt, "mittleren Jahren" immernoch. Danke schön, dass ihr mein Leben zu allen Zeiten begleitet habt! Danke euch!
Immer, wenn ich nicht mehr weiter weiß, dann Headset auf und VNV Nation und es geht mir wieder besser ❤ Danke
That voice... That song... That music...!!!! Uffff ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
His voice is one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard in music
Victory NOT Vengeance Nation always scores! Never a disappointment. 🤟❤️
Awesome Song and Video ... Keep Up the GREAT work Ronan and Team ... Looking forward to the new Album
Thankyou.
Great song 👏🏻😉🇵🇱
Mega ❤️👍🏼💪🏼
Oh my goodness, y'all that is some truth right there!
Thank you Ronan! This is great!. Please come back to Los Angeles! Cheers!
NYE 2018 with Aesthetic Perfection, great show

Brilliant song. Words we need to hear.
Vielen Dank für das Hammerlied 🙂👍

Obacht - Das blitzt wie Sau!
Thank you again … since years!!!! VNV Nation the sounds, the lyrics, the Moods and you Ronan - all this: Carry me! Let me stand up, trust, fight and love
Amazing! Thank you, not just for the new single, but the links to find a hard copy for us stuck on the other side of the ocean.
Klasse. Das ist echte Kunst. Danke Ronan!
Das ist einfach so "Tränengeil"...ich danke euch für dieses musikalische Kunstwerk
OBACHT! DAS BLITZT WIE SAU! 😎
Wieder ein geiler Song! Danke Ronan 🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
FENOMENAL
soo gut! Dankesehr passt genau in die Zeit!
Einfach FETT 🤘🖤
Ronan, you are one of the very few who sublimates the ebm with the electronic pop sound managing to create a world apart, made of maximum emotions, shivers against the skin. Power, sweetness, hardness, softness, for you they are not a secret and your rate knows how to bring together all the beauty there is. Thanks for your music 🖤🤍
WOW, VNV blowing my mind again with songs that have melodic anthems with a conscious that inspires and makes me feel such a wide range of emotions.
der hammer!!!!geil...
Très bon groupe j adore très belle musics 👍😉😃❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent!!!! VNV Nation at its best!😁 I hope to see you live someday (soon!) - I just had to listen to that song 3 times in a row at successively increased volume!!!
Love these lyrics... I can't wait for this album, it's sounding better with every track I hear from it.
