Aida movie - The Past Is Another Land lyrics
rate me<br>
Aida:<br>
<br>
You know nothing about me and care even less<br>
How could you understand our emptiness<br>
You've plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth<br>
In bleeding us dry<br>
You long for our spirit<br>
But that you will never possess<br>
<br>
The past is now another land<br>
Far beyond my reach<br>
Invaded by insidious<br>
Foreign bodies, foreign speech<br>
Where timeless joys of childhood<br>
Lie broken on the beach<br>
<br>
The present is an empty space<br>
Between the good and bad<br>
A moment leading nowhere<br>
Too pointless to be sad<br>
But time enough to lay to waste<br>
Every certainty I had<br>
<br>
The future is a barren world<br>
From which I can't return<br>
Both heartless and material<br>
Its wretched spoils not my concern<br>
Shining like an evil sun<br>
As my childhood treasures burn<br>
Shining like an evil sun<br>
As my childhood treasures burn<br>
<br>
