Lyrics based on Jorge Luis Borges' book "Otras Inquisiciones"
lyrics
This night of magic
and destiny
an ancient spirit
talked to me
I have the power
over men's lives
but I'm no son
of Paradise
My ears were filled with talks of war
My back a lonesome burdain bore
Son of Genghis Khan
is hunting in the sun
By the river Alph
deep down a sunless sea
A woman spirit
roams this land
her demon lover
comes again
I am a puppet
I am not free
I am a slave
of sorcery
And in the winter when I leave
The devil in my palace lives
And when my life
is finished, gone
My lineage over
my broken throne
The hands of China
rule my land
I was betrayed
yet once again
The woman goes to poet's bed
And of her demon's house she tells
An hour of spacey, dreamlike new music from Ducktails. “Daffy Duck in Hollywood” boasts mirage-like songs with laid-back melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2017
