Letra Before the rain Vnv Nation

Before the rain

Flash backward to the time
Your silhouette disguised
The glow of night's reflection

Your outline locked in phase
Like a vivid, liquid haze
Lit up the night electric

A moment staged for us
Until we turn to dust
Until time's evaporated

But were we ever there
Enraptured, unaware?
We were lovers only dreaming

We dared eternity and won
Long before the rain had come
We built a universe
We held a cosmos in our hands
Unstoppable force, the purest light
To set the firmament alight
We built a universe
So we could hold the cosmos in our hands

The switch turned to engage
The power rushed and raged
Lit up your face electric

Light speed in a dream
The static bursts, the stream
The ultrasonic strains of music

Revived in youth again
With each step as we claim
Shattered mirrors in the rainfall

But were we ever there
Enraptured, unaware?
We were lovers only dreaming

We dared eternity and won
Long before the rain had come
We built a universe
We held a cosmos in our hands
Unstoppable force, the purest light
To set the firmament alight
We built a universe
So we could hold the cosmos in our hands
