The Past Is Another Land Songtext / Lyric

He knows nothing about me and care even less

He barely knows himself, his emptiness

He cannot imagine a life without confidence

A life without hope, a life without freedom

Where life is all you possess

The past is now another land

Far beyond my reach

Invaded by insidious

Foreign bodies, foreign speech

Where the 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

Disheartening at every turn

Material and obsolete

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
