Joy lyrics

Artist  : VNV Nation 
Song : Joy
 


Have I no control, is my soul not mine?
Am I
not just man, destiny defined?
Never to be
ruled nor held to heel
Not heaven or hell just
the land between
Am I not man, does my heart
not bleed?
No lord, no God, no hate, no pity,
no pain, just me
Comprehend and
countermand
Synchronous guidance. I choose my
way
Never to be ruled nor held to heel
No
heaven or hell, just the land between

And
am I not man?

So why do I love when I
still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my
work done?
Why am I lone and why do I feel
that
I carry a sword through a
battlefield?
So why do I love when I still
feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work
done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel
that
I carry a sword, that I carry a
sword?

Like the path to heaven or the road
to hell
Our choice is our own consequences
bind
We are the kings of wisdom, the fools as
well
We are the gods to many, we are humble
men
We who build great works just to break
them down
We who make our rules so we never
fail

So why do I love when I still feel
pain?
When does it end, when is my work
done?
Why am I lone and why do I feel
that
I carry a sword through a
battlefield?
So why do I love when I still
feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work
done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel
that
I carry a sword, that I carry a sword
through a battlefield?
