《Chosen》歌词

[00:00:00] Chosen - VNV Nation

[00:00:49] Order is shattered in a strange guttural tone that resounded

[00:00:51] Along the walls of the houses which seemed dead and deserted

[00:00:54] While behind the closed shutters eyes watched the conquerors

[00:00:57] Who by right of war were now masters of the city and of the lives

[00:01:01] And fortunes of its people

[00:01:04] In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have given way to the same

[00:01:06] Feeling of panic which is aroused by natural cataclysms those

[00:01:09] Devastating upheavals of the Earth against which wisdom and

[00:01:13] Strength alike are of no avail

[00:01:15] Though the same feeling is experienced wherever the established

[00:01:18] Order of things is upset when security ceases to exist when all that

[00:01:22] Was previously protected by the laws of man and nature is suddenly

[00:01:25] Placed at the mercy of brutal unreasoning force

[00:01:28] The earthquake burying a whole people beneath the ruins of their

[00:01:31] Houses the river in spate sweeping away the bodies of drowned

[00:01:35] Peasants together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters torn from

[00:01:38] Roofs and the victorious army slaughtering all who resist making

[00:01:43] Prisoners of the rest looting by right of the sword and thanking their

[00:01:46] God to the sound of cannon

[00:01:51] All these are terrifying scourges which undermine all our belief in

[00:01:54] Eternal justice and all the trust we have been taught to place in divine

[00:01:57] Protection and human reason
