Chosen-VNV Nation

[ti:Chosen] [ar:VNV Nation] [al:Praise The Fallen] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Chosen - VNV Nation [00:49.06]Order is shattered in a strange guttural tone that resounded [00:51.37]Along the walls of the houses which seemed dead and deserted [00:54.80]While behind the closed shutters eyes watched the conquerors [00:57.42]Who by right of war were now masters of the city and of the lives [01:01.60]And fortunes of its people [01:04.10]In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have given way to the same [01:06.65]Feeling of panic which is aroused by natural cataclysms those [01:09.90]Devastating upheavals of the Earth against which wisdom and [01:13.02]Strength alike are of no avail [01:15.72]Though the same feeling is experienced wherever the established [01:18.90]Order of things is upset when security ceases to exist when all that [01:22.28]Was previously protected by the laws of man and nature is suddenly [01:25.08]Placed at the mercy of brutal unreasoning force [01:28.83]The earthquake burying a whole people beneath the ruins of their [01:31.76]Houses the river in spate sweeping away the bodies of drowned [01:35.00]Peasants together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters torn from [01:38.50]Roofs and the victorious army slaughtering all who resist making [01:43.36]Prisoners of the rest looting by right of the sword and thanking their [01:46.61]God to the sound of cannon [01:51.42]All these are terrifying scourges which undermine all our belief in [01:54.29]Eternal justice and all the trust we have been taught to place in divine [01:57.97]Protection and human reason
