VNV Nation - Teleconnect 1 lyrics

Show me the ways give me the means to pull away the veil of time to find the path from which we strayed to destinations far and wide electric streets and railway lines a line of stations to guide us home the need for metal towers machines of radiant design they're silent witness to a golden age glowing wireless light the night so we tuned ourselves away to the lonely songs of satellites voices from distant cities tell of empires conquered in our minds and heroes of the world to come take me back before the years before the colors start to fade a fraction of the grain of time is all I need so you might understand I would not falter I would not hesitate the generators never rest turbines drive the onward march of time onward and forward to another day engines of a forgotten time electric streets and city lights to the highways that will guide us home a need for signal towers machines of intricate design they're silent witness to the golden age glowing wireless light the night so we tuned ourselves away to the lonely songs of satellites voices from distant cities tell of empires conquered in our minds and heroes of the world to come take me back before the years before the colors start to fade
