Distant Lyrics

Cover art for Distant lyrics by VNV Nation

The paths that I once tread Have all but gone Only embers now smoulder Where bridges once burned - There was a Riot when Julius Caesar died. PEople went nuts too kill the Conspiraters.

I feel alive and yet I fear What may happen now I know I can't return - Outcasted by Rome, the Conspiraters flee, no longer fearfull of Julius Caesar's Tyrany.

And I hear me say again 'Oh let me not return' Damn the illusions of redemption And the hopes that held me here I will oppose all that would befall me With this rage inside of me I'll defy what I would become

Brutus feels as if Julius Caesar didn't actually have to die... The "Illusions of Redemption" Would be Caesar's Ghost.

This solitude and anger That do battle inside of me Will always guide me to the answers That I know I may not see They are the bonds that hold me tighter They are the chains that weigh on me One day, I know they will become - Brutus, became a Victim, of what he did the second his Wife, died, because of what he did. She "Swollowed Fire". He may have been emotionless on the outside, but on the inside, he was ripped apart.

Can I start again And erase this pain By casting doubts into the waters Asking judgement of the sea - The big fight where ALOT of people Died... Cassius and Brutus included.

Though fortune, you guide the fools I have no wish to be free Until I am gone - Brutus, and the Conspirators fought for a cause, and that cause brought them down till the very last. It was a strong play as this is a Strong Song.
