Nova (Shine a Light on Me) Songtext
von VNV Nation

I long to feel my heart burned open wide
′Til nothing else remains
Except the fires from which I came
Like parted souls, divided for an age
Awe and wonder, I'd embrace
And the world anew again

But now, this picture from me fades
From still′s cold hand, there's no reprieve
Light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Lay me down and wash this world from me
Open the skies and burn it all away
'Cause I′ve been waiting
All my life, just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me


I dreamed the world with my eyes open
But time moved on and then
New worlds begin again
Oh my heart, in this universe so vast
No moment was made to last
So light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Please shine, shine your light on me
No hesitation, make me complete
Lay me down and wash this world from me
Open the skies and burn it all away
′Cause I've been waiting
All my life, just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

Lay me down and wash this world from me
Open the skies and burn it all away
′Cause I've been waiting
All my life, forever waiting
Shine your light on me

′Cause I've been waiting
All of my life, just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me
