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
