Amnesia lyrics

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

Memory, help me see

Amnesia

Memory, set me free

All my love and all my kisses

Sweet Mnemosyne

All my love and all my kisses

Sweet Mnemosyne

Sweet Mnemosyne
