VNV Nation - Honour 2003 Lyrics






Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve.
A nation that stands alone.
Cold voices, faces pale,
gathered unto their judgement day.
Such pride remains unbroken.
Such words remain unspoken.
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry.
Tears and medals in the rain.
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail.
The all clear resounding.
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well,
to see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension.

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for.
For our spirit and laws and ways.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies
or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
on this day in this stone chamber?

The all clear resounding.
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well.
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled.
On this day of our ascension,
on this day we praise the fallen.

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for.
For our spirit and laws and ways.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies
or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
on this day in this stone chamber?

VNV Nation Honour 2003 Comments
  1. W.... S....

    Donetsk steppes. Spring 2014.
    A nation that stands alone
    Cold voices, faces pale
    Gathered unto their judgement day
    Such pride remains unbroken
    Such words remain unspoken
    Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
    Tears and medals in the rain.

    Greetings from Ukrainian VNV fans. For us, this song is so painfully close...
    Fuck Putin and TerroRussia. Glory to Ukraine!

    Donetsk and Lugansk occupied zone, Ukraine.
    Let them come and see ground troops of Russian army and "Wagner" private military company...
    And even more troops of separatists supported by Russia.
    ...Our Ukrainian nation stands alone - for 6 years of "hybrid warfare".

  9. �.... ....

    Dance motherfucker!

  10. M.... ....

    These lyrics are scary, I never imagined the leading nations in 2017 could return to such turmoil, chaos, and uncertainty of the future.

    @James Lykins
    Eastern Ukraine. 6 years of "hybrid warfare" against pro-Russian separatists and Russian troops (both regular army and private military companies like Wagner Group).

    C.... L....

  17. N.... ....

    Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for.
    For our spirit and laws and ways.
    Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
    For heaven or hell we shall not wait.

    This part always reminds me of Ernst Jünger's novel On the Marble Cliffs, about an uprising against fascism which is fought on the moors in a fictitious country with the aid of fierce dogs of war. Released 1939 – in Germany...

    N.... ....

    You sir, have impeccable taste with Herr Jünger. I love his essay On Pain

    N.... ....

    Neizvestija reminds me more of what Europe needs to do now

    @CocacolaCowboy1919

    you're not alone, this is the month this song was written for, now get some friends to listen to this awesome band and share this Awesome way of live, strive to achieve, don't sit in bitter regret, this is what they teach us. Stand your ground and live for the sake of livin! i'm with you as a citizen of the VNV Nation! you're not alone

  36. S.... ....

    with the "megaupload thing" this song has new meanings (?)

  37. B.... ....

    I used to listen to this back around 1999 thinkin of the time when the world is gonna change, like an EMP or something. I keep thinking of this now becasue it it 2012. ANd I'm always alone. I'm so sad and afraid.

    B.... ....

    I always want to think positive and it helps me that I always avoid the news because they're usually too negative, which can be exhausting, I don't need that. I'm thankful for many things that I have and that exist.


    Sometimes I am sad but I never forget the nice things that exist. Also sometimes I still can't believe I have 3 friends at work, it took me many years.

  38. k.... ....
