[00:00.679] You know nothing about me and care even less
[00:06.635] How could you understand our emptiness?
[00:11.572] You've plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth
[00:17.528] In bleeding us dry, you long for our spirit
[00:24.633] But that, you will never possess
[00:34.847] The past is now another land, far beyond my reach
[00:45.479] Invaded by insidious foreign bodies, foreign speech
[00:55.823] Where the timeless joys of childhood lie broken on the beach
[01:14.370] The present is an empty space between the good and bad
[01:24.688] A moment leading nowhere, too pointless to be sad
[01:34.902] But time enough to lay to waste every certainty I had
[01:54.233] The future is a barren world from which I can't return
[02:05.675] Both heartless and material its wretched spoils, not my concern
[02:16.202] Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn
[02:28.244] Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn
