Teleconnect, Pt. 1 - VNV Nation

Show me the ways

Give me the means

To pull away the veil of time

To find the path from which we strayed

To destinations far and wide

Electric streets and railway lines

A line of stations to guide us home

The need for metal towers

Machines of radiant design

They’re silent witness to a golden age

Glowing wireless

Light the night

So we tuned ourselves away to the lonely songs of satellites

Voices from distant cities tell

Of empires conquered in our minds

And heroes of the world to come

Take me back before the years

Before the colors start to fade

A fraction of the grain of time

Is all I need so you might understand

I would not falter

I would not hesitate

The generators never rest

Turbines drive the onward march of time

Onward and forward

To another day

Engines of a forgotten time

Electric streets and city lights

To the highways that will guide us home

A need for signal towers

Machines of intricate design

They’re silent witness to the golden age

Glowing wireless

Light the night

So we tuned ourselves away to the lonely songs of satellites

Voices from distant cities tell

Of empires conquered in our minds

And heroes of the world to come

Take me back before the years

Before the colors start to fade
