Tales of your behaviour
like paper in a book
You try to be my saviour
How come you can not see the truth?
I Am-oK, if I Am-oK, you see...
I put so much faith into you
I trusted everybody except myself
Don't be such a stranger -
I Am-oK, but you're in danger!
I walked for years to get this far
I have to tell you once again...

O' Brother Sleep
These faces, no one embraces,
trade your intelligence for a smile
He who harasses - innocent masses -
forgives, to save your soul - in time
Desperate believers, emotion dealers
have never learned to cry liquid pearls
And silently these tribes of traitors
have captured everyone, including you
Have you commanded painfully?
Have you avoided endlessly?
Have you not seen these tired faces?
Have only left your gruesome traces!

Butterfly:Dance!
Is this your true world definition?
You cannot help where your help is not wanted!
You cannot escape from your reality
Give me more of your salvation
Hello? … are you listening to me?
Hello? … why don't you speak a word to me?
I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past
Let me feel your recognition
I can taste the way you look
I guess it was the right decision!
My thoughts are my bible, that's by what I live
You live your life between these worlds
Color twists around your body
You and I got lost in rainbows
Our dreams were never made to last

Giftraum
Wenn ich in Deine Obhut sinke
schenke edle Träume mir
Damit ich nicht im Schlaf ertrinke
spende Deinen Segen mir
Dies ist ein Giftraum
Nichts vermag mich zu bedrängen
wie ein Traum in schwarzer Nacht
Darum flehe ich um Hilfe
erbitte hier um Deine Wacht
Mag das Tageslicht mich rufen
dann zurück aus Deiner Welt
Ich erwachen darf in Frieden
denn mich das am Leben hält
Schau mich an!
Was ist denn übrig von mir?
Hör mich an!
Und heile meine Wunden
Schau mich an!
Was ist denn übrig von mir?
Hör mich an!
In Ewigkeit verbunden.
Drohst Du einmal zu verzweifeln
schick' ich Dir Trost aus meinem Raum
Mein Verlust wird Dich nicht schmerzen
denn Du kennst mein Leben kaum
Obgleich ich keinen Groll verspüre
nehm' ich Abschied nun von Dir
Keine Zuflucht, kein Zuhause
ich schliess' die Tür jetzt hinter mir ...

Immerdar
Es ist noch Zeit genug
damit ich für mich kämpfe
Es ist noch Hoffnung da
um all dies zu begreifen
Und wer weiß schon, …
vielleicht wirst du bald bei mir sein?
Und wer weiß schon, …
vielleicht wird es für immer sein?
Ich weiß nicht mehr
warum wir wurden wie wir sind
Vergiss mein nicht
wenn du verloren gehst im Wind
Es ist noch Freiheit da
die wir alle atmen
Es gibt noch Licht genug
um sich nicht zu verlaufen

Malice
I dread the panic within your tight embrace
I ban the violence from my feeble frame
Choose your weapon and go to war instead!
Anchor me in a sea of silence
Harbor me with my restless mind
I live revenge with my second skin
I feel the echo pounding in my head
I know this feeling deep within
It makes no sense to hide from what you are
Malice, I dare to linger
Malice, I won't attempt to flee
Malice, just for a moment
Malice, to bundle all my rage
Poorly gifted I still try to reluct
Let me surrender my weakish sense of bliss
Kind of awkward to find this faith in you
Torn between extremes
Please meet my state of mind

Rumours about Angels
I will plaster all you mortals with my dominating guts
I will torment revelations - I did never ask for much
I will taste the detonation while the geminis go wild
I`ll absorb the human sigh, eradicate your dormant lie
Does it suck your breasts for milk, golden honey, dressed in silk
Does it feel your patient care in your dreadful glassy stare
Or does it feel your true emotions in its scars and bruises burn
Do you really think your lies will tear open cloudy skies?
Feel my fingers in your wound while my eyes ascend the gloom
Questions wasting all my time - I see your eyes detesting mine
Sick of a life you never had, e.dead.motion, you look so sad
I could care less if I'd like - I let you go into the night
Is my ignorance my fate, or is my love distorted hate
Is deliverance my mate or am I sleeping while awake
Is this place that we call home adorned by devastating foam
Am I mortal, am I god - Am I brighter than you thought?
I will never beg for mercy - I will never kiss your feet
I will never ask forgiveness and all of that I want to keep!
I will guide the blind in darkness though I cannot see myself
I will whisper in a deaf ear while I know you cannot speak
and I hear rumours about angels

She and her darkness

She and her darkness
My heart weighs minimum a ton
An army's feet pounding on my head
Maybe I'll wake up one day to notice
that all my life was just a dream...
And maybe I'll be better off without you
You left me here with all my thoughts
I'd write a zillion words or walk a million miles
I'd sleep on broken glass just not to lose your smiles
I travel for you around the world
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy
I wish I'd be a little boy
Where is that silence you promised me?
Why is that distance so close to me?
Why is your violence still hurting me?
Why are your eyes avoiding me?
Let me say thank you for all that you have given me
Thank you for everything you've done
Forgive me for saying one last thing:
I miss you and I hope you hear this song!
I travel for you around the world
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy
I wish I'd be a little boy
I'm dying for you, can't you see?
I'm lying for you to be free!
I hunger for you, 'cause I can't eat!
I'd vanish for you in defeat!

She
She has the silence deep in her breasts embraced
She wears a perfume of a truly vicious taste
She has the wisdom in her empathic eyes
She knows the truth to all unspoken lies
She says she'd sell her angel for a dream
She says that she is not who she might seem
She says that she has lost her self-esteem
She says that she will not give up her dream
She offers traitors her lap to feel like home
She masters violence as if she fears no one
She makes your anger turn into quiet tears
She makes you laugh about intimate fears
She hears the voices that tell me what to do
She looks into our eyes, but only smiles at you
She knows the warmth she feels is not for long
She stopped to speak that's why I end this song

Traumtänzer
Die Zeit steht still in diesem Raum
doch merken’s andere Menschen kaum
Es steht die Luft hier in der Schwebe
als ob der Wind(h)auch nicht mehr lebe
Die Stille schmerzt in meinen Ohren
Ich wünscht ich hätt' Dich nicht verloren.
Während Träume sich erinnern
an die Zeit vor unserer Zeit
vergißt Du alle Sorge
was Dir ein wenig Kraft verleiht
Du enthältst Dich vieler Dinge
erklärst Dich klug als Philosoph
Du entehrst so viele Dinge
bist Dir hörig wie ein Zof!
Wirst Du mich nie verstehen?
Wirst Du denn nie verstehen?
Hast Du noch nie gesehen...
wie meine Augen glitzern?
Keiner mag Dir mehr vertrauen
schenkt kein Wort Dir edler Gunst
Siehst Deinen Schatten schon verschwinden
dort am Horizont im Dunst
...denn es ist Zeit, für eine neue Melodie,
für eine neue Phantasie, für eine neue Harmonie
Ich stehe auf und geh nun fort
an einen fremden, fernen Ort
Gesichter reden auf mich ein
So werd ich nie zu Hause sein

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.

NOIRE (44khz / 24bit version)

A lot of thoughtful, emotional tracks that are modern, and make me feel like I'm either jetting or drifting through space.

Resonance (88khz/24bit version)

Manages to be suitably symphonic and possessed of a certain grandeur, but a couple of tracks cross the line into po-faced bombast. Why is the last track not 88/24 like all the others?

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

Take a dive into the underworld with this hard-hitting slab of guitar-powered industrial music from Ken Fury.

Terrific minimalist synth music from Melbourne, where robotic electronics lock into rigid beats to make a Kraftwerkian wonder.
