the pastis another land
Heather Headley
the pastis another land 歌詞
You know nothing about me and care even less
How could you understand our emptiness?
Youve 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 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 from which I cant 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
