Vnv Nation Wonders Lyrics

Memories like films play on the wall
Of another self, another life
A story without end that still lives on
So much that passed us by is forever gone

Echoes of the chances that I had to take
I closed the door, I never said goodbye
No regrets, no tears
We cannot turn back time
The symphony, the song plays to the end

Ghosts will haunt the streets
Where we have laughed and cried
Still, we found our place
Found a better life
Is there time to cry
Drink to last goodbyes
Oh why, do wonders never cease? Share with me a wisdom and reflect
When I cannot disguise my truest self
I cannot say what plans fate has for us
But we affect the change and guard our hearts

Running forward
Hope and wonder
Laugh and fall
Have we burned all the illusions of our youth?
The question goes unanswered: what it made of us,
Who won or lost, who is missing presumed alive?

I hold on to what matters most and don't let go
I hope you know
That I'm happy now
Drink to last goodbyes
Oh why, do wonders never cease?
