lyrics
Wind you up and watch you go
you tell me what you think you know
there is a place in Hell that’s mine
I thank your god you’ve lost your mind
while I bathe in fire
you’re the one left on your knees
so tell me who’s the liar
when we all do as we please
I was just a child
when they taught me I would burn
whispering it was love
but that wasn’t what I learned
wind me up and watch me go
I’ve left the earth to join the show
I heard there was a place for me
that wouldn’t tell me who to be
and just like that
I was free
I was free
I was free
while I dance in fire
you’re the one left on your knees
so tell me who’s the liar
when we all do as we please
I was just a child
when they taught me I would burn
whispering it was love
but that wasn’t what I learned
where is the love
is this love
where is the love I was promised
I was promised
this isn’t love
this is control
if all of us must pay a toll
how is it love
how is it love
while I bathe in fire
you’re the one left on your knees
so tell me who’s the liar
when we all do as we please
I was just a child
when they taught me I would burn
whispering it was love
but that wasn’t what I learned

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
