Riverside "Forgotten Land" - from "Memories In My Head" EP 2011
Music by Riverside
Lyrics by Mariusz Duda
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
Release date: Apr 15, 2011

Wonderfully evocative lyrics. A beautiful song talking about fallen empires and possibly a not-so-subtle warning to current ones.

I'm not 100% positive about this, please forgive me for any mistakes:
Look at this field, my son
Deserted empty place
Where the dirt silence
Feeds on lost whispersThere was a kingdom here
A city full of life
Songs of its praise
Were being sung
By the mountainsOh listen to them now
People felt strong and powerful
Proud of their wealth
All of them believed
They were kings of the whole worldThey started to take more
Cross the borderlines
Called themselves Gods
Above everything and everyoneOh listen to them now
Faster and faster
Higher and higher
Great temples of God grew taller
And glittered in the sunGods too sure of themselves
Never lost their pride
(... inaudible)
Monuments started to collapseOh how quickly they died
How quickly they turned into dust
In their forgotten landListen (...)
Swallows are crying
I seize the sun (?)
Of their forgotten land - riel-notermans
