Riverside

Forgotten Land
Look at this field my son Deserted, empty place Where the dead silence feeds on lost whispers There was a Kingdom here A City full of life Songs of its praise were being sung by the mountains Oh, listen to them now People felt strong and powerful Proud of their wealth All of them believed they were kings of the whole world They started to take more And crossed the borderlines Called themselves gods above everything and everyone Oh, listen to them now Faster and faster Higher and higher Great temples of gold grew taller and glittered in the sun Gods, too sure of themselves Never lost their pride Even when the altars and monuments started to collapse Oh, how quickly they died Oh, how quickly they turned into The dust of the forgotten land Listen intently Souls are crying This is the song of the forgotten land Aus Songtexte Mania
