Further Lyrics

Artist: VNV Nation
Album: Burning Empires

At the end of days, at the end of time
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter?
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?

And in retrospect I'll say we've done no wrong
Who are we to judge what's right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong
Running wild unaware of what might come of us

The Sun was born, so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

Without a thought I will see everything eternal
Forget that once we were just dust from heavens far
As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day
I will remember you and wonder who we were

The Sun was born, so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

I discovered this incredible song in the amazing amateur game "Iji". I LOVE IT !

by Jelk on 1/13/2009 10:19pm
Major respect for VNV Nation for writing this, but I think I prefer the LifeForce cover from Iji.

by Shuani on 1/21/2009 6:00pm
I like the cover of this song by LifeForce.

by Rhys on 1/23/2009 5:29pm
Perfect song. Dark with a twist. its just perfect

by Xom on 6/14/2009 6:06am
Also discovered this at the end of Iji. Drew a tear from me. Couldn't think of a more perfect song for the ending.

by Kai on 6/26/2009 8:11pm
I must second Xom's comment. The LifeForce cover is most excellent, and I think I prefer it to the original.

It reminds me about someone...

a relaxing song and awesome song!

So, yes. The original is good and all. But the Iji/LifeForce Cover version is... heartbreaking. Listen now.

by RaSENmahn! on 3/12/2010 10:42am
Wow I was playing Iji and this was the ending music...just a beautiful song, I haven't heard the original but everyone here's saying this is the better version...simply amazing song, it somehow made me feel more fulfilled after beating the game.

makes me happy like nothing else can "The Sun was born, so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me "

by RagnaThePig on 11/3/2010 4:49pm
Iji could not have a more perfect song for its ending.

by Minxy on 1/9/2011 9:32pm
I agree with kilozombie

by Viddaric on 4/20/2011 12:02pm
Best... Credits song... Ever. Seriously. Fits perfectly with the game too. Lifeforce should be proud of their cover, and Remar should be commended for his excelent choice.

by IjiLover on 5/2/2011 10:41am
Iji has to be my favorite game ever, and this song makes it that much better.

by Iji on 6/3/2011 8:12pm
my name is iji, I want to destroy komato and tansen

by DJBarcode on 8/26/2011 9:58am
What a great song. I love it so much - I just wish I could listen to it without crying.

by Xpowerz on 7/25/2012 4:57am
Really someday the sun will die and i really wonder will someone know we were here

by sicjedi on 3/9/2013 5:31am
You've got to be kidding me: the LifeForce cover is like a lounge, Muzak version compared to the VNV original. Amazing song!!!

by sicjedi on 3/9/2013 6:07am
�though, there is definitely a strength in the tempo and vocals of the LifeForce version.

by Zilogat0r on 8/15/2013 4:13am
Why the heck do you mention the LifeForce cover - it's a strange half-acoustic version which lacks all the goodies from the VNV original. Synths do the job! Agree with sicjedi.

by Victor on 10/5/2014 7:42pm
Yep. Iji's version > All

by Pamela-Ann on 1/12/2015 8:40am
Absolutely stunning song. Its soul-touching! Helps me to deal with the death of my son, husband and mother. Thank you VNV! Your music is awesome!

by Richard on 2/7/2022 6:51am
Does anybody knows who is the girl who sings the Life-force version?
