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 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 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 wich I can't return
Both heartless and material
Its wretched spiols not my concern
Shining like an evil sun
as my childhood treasures burn
Shining like an evil sun
as my childhood treasures burn
