LyricMeaning

The Past Is Another Land
Original Broadway Cast

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 possess


The past is now another land

Far beyond my reach

Invaded by insidious

Foreign bodies, foreign speech

With 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 baren world

From which I can't return

Both hopless and material

It's retched spoils not my concern


Shinning like an evil sun

As my childhood treasures burn

Shinning like an evil sun

As my childhood treasures burn
