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>
