Chosen - VNV Nation[00:00:00]

Order is shattered in a strange guttural tone that resounded[00:00:49]

Along the walls of the houses which seemed dead and deserted [00:00:51]

While behind the closed shutters eyes watched the conquerors [00:00:54]

Who by right of war were now masters of the city and of the lives[00:00:57]

And fortunes of its people [00:01:01]

In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have given way to the same[00:01:04]

Feeling of panic which is aroused by natural cataclysms those[00:01:06]

Devastating upheavals of the Earth against which wisdom and[00:01:09]

Strength alike are of no avail [00:01:13]

Though the same feeling is experienced wherever the established[00:01:15]

Order of things is upset when security ceases to exist when all that[00:01:18]

Was previously protected by the laws of man and nature is suddenly[00:01:22]

Placed at the mercy of brutal unreasoning force [00:01:25]

The earthquake burying a whole people beneath the ruins of their[00:01:28]

Houses the river in spate sweeping away the bodies of drowned[00:01:31]

Peasants together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters torn from[00:01:35]

Roofs and the victorious army slaughtering all who resist making[00:01:38]

Prisoners of the rest looting by right of the sword and thanking their[00:01:43]

God to the sound of cannon [00:01:46]

All these are terrifying scourges which undermine all our belief in[00:01:51]

Eternal justice and all the trust we have been taught to place in divine[00:01:54]

Protection and human reason[00:01:57]
