Sentinel Lyrics

Cover art for Sentinel lyrics by VNV Nation

The best song from Vnv (or any other band aswell) since "Arena" 2005.

Ronan has always been a master of describing humanity in it´s finest & worst moments, and so he does here.

This song is, as I see it, like so many other songs from Ronan, question wether we are capabel of using all our knowledge and machines to make this world a better place - or just continue as we do - and doom ourselwes.

"To the songs that sing of glory and the brave, are we dreaming there are better days to come?" Seems to me, like a legid question. Cause are our wars really fought to enproven life-quality for humans, or just to benefit some chosen elite? " And here he asks the same question:"When will the banners and the victory parade, celebrate the day a better world is won?"

The chorus lyrics together with the melodie is pure poetry, and one of the best chorus I´we ever heard.
