Letra da Música Amnesia de Dead Can Dance

Saw the demonstration
On remembrance day
Lest we forget the lesson
Enshrined in funeral clay
History is never written
By those who've lost
The defeated must bear witness to
Our collective memory loss

With every generation comes
Another memory lapse
See the demonstrations of
Failing to learn from our past
We live in the dreamtime
Nothing seems to last
Can you really plan a future
When you no longer have a past

Memories fall from the trees
Amnesia
Memories like autumn leaves

If we are subject to
Empirical minds
I wonder what lies beyond
Our memory's confines
If memory is the true sum
Of who we are
May your children know the truth
And shine like the brightest star

Memories, help me see
Amnesia
Memories, set me free

All my love and all my kisses

Sweet mnemosyne
