2. VNV Nation: "Nemesis"

Lyrics excerpts:

Everybody wants to live in a lie
But why should we delude ourselves
It's not as if we can't see something's wrong
Where's the duty to what's right
Intentions end with empty words
And chaos replaces order

Those who shout loudest
Impose their will
Upholding laws that serve a few
Declaring peace while the sirens sing
In the name of progress
The name of madness
Drum beats faster
Crowd shouts louder
And chaos replaces order

I want justice for the voice that can't be heard
Vindication for every suffering and hurt
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because Judgment Day's not coming
Judgment Day's not coming
Soon enough
