The Past Is Another Land

Lyrics
You know nothing about me, and care even less How could you understand our emptiness? You plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth In bleeding us dry, you long for our spirit But that, you will never possess The past is now another land Far beyond my reach Invaded by insidious Foreign bodies, foreign speech But the timeless joys of childhood Lie broken on the beach The present is an empty space Between the good and the bad A moment leading nowhere Too pointless to be sad But time enough to lay to waste Every certainty I had The future is a barren world From which I can't return Both thoughtless and material It's a wretched spoil, it's not my concern Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn
