VNV Nation - Forsaken

[ For thirty years, I have plotted to bring down the blockade, 
I am sick of the mind and body ] 

 
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, 
And oh so very much to say. 
 
And whose life do I lead? 
Whose blood do I bleed? 
Whose air do I breath, 
With whose skin now do I feel? 
 
I’m supposed to walk away from here [x2] 
 
[help me][echo x3] 
 
And whose life do I lead? 
Whose air do I breathe?
Whose blood do I now bleed? 
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? 
 
These engines power down, 
Like a soldier to his end I go, 
But I’m convinced that there is nothing more. 
 
And whose life do I lead? 
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, 
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’ve nothing left to say, 
I have nothing left to feel, 
Am I supposed to let this go now? 
Let darkness come take you away? 
 

[ If you're frightened of dying, and you're holdin' on, 

you'll feel devils tearing your life away; 

If you've made your peace, 

then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth ]
