Riverside - Forgotten Land

Riverside - Forgotten Land

Look at this field, my son
Deserted empty place
Where the dirt 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
Cross the borderlines
Called themselves Gods
Above everything and everyone

Oh listen to them now

Faster and faster
Higher and higher
Great temples of God grew taller
And glittered in the sun

Gods too sure of themselves
Never lost their pride
(... inaudible)
Monuments started to collapse

Oh how quickly they died
How quickly they turned into dust
In their forgotten land

Listen (...)
Swallows are crying
I seize the sun (?)
Of their forgotten land
