The Past Is Another Land |
| You know nothing about me and care even less |
| How could you understand our emptiness |
| You’ve 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 |
| Where timeless joys of childhood |
| Lie broken on the beach |
| The present is an empty space |
| Between the good and 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 heartless and material |
| Its wretched spoils not my concern |
| Shining like an evil sun |
| As my childhood treasures burn |
| Shining like an evil sun |
| As my childhood treasures burn |
