The Past Is Another Land

Lyricist：Elton John, Tim Rice

You know nothing about me and care even less
How could you understand our emptiness?
You plundered our wisdom, our knowledge
Our wealth in bleeding us dry, you long for our spirit
But that you will never posess

The past is now another land, far beyond my reach
Invaded by insidious foreign bodies, foriegn speech
But 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 can't return
Both thoughtless and material, its wretched spoils mock my concern
Shining like an evil sun, as my childhood treasures burn
Shining like an evil sun, as my childhood treasures burn
