Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I took the children by the hand
Promised to show them all that God had planned
It's sad but true, this moral maze
Betrays the innocence of bygone days
You can't hold back the march of time
I said you can't hold back the march of time
This blood stained desert road on which we stand
Is testament to man, this barren land
ย
A song of joy, the countryside
Radiant fields forever glow with pride
That once were blessed as golden shards
Now bear the sad remains of funeral pyres
You can't hold back the march of time
I said you can't hold back the march of time
This wicked wilderness in which we stand
Is testament to man, this barren land
ย
You can't hold back the march of time
I said you can't hold back the march of time
This way of no return on which we stand
Is testament to man, this barren land
On silent shores we make our peace
We pray that hell's winds will someday cease
The waves of time can never bend
They ever take their course until the end
You can't hold back the march of time
I said you can't hold back the march of time
This crumbling cliff top on which we stand
Is testament to man, this barren land
Is testament to man, this barren land
