Lyrics based on Jorge Luis Borges' book "Otras Inquisiciones"
lyrics
death cannot reach me in my palace
my sorcerers say
that time will stand still
the gate is magic sealed
and death will not come in
magic and time
are the bricks of the future
and useless past is dead
as the wall that holds a dream
I will burn it's shadow scent
and it's judging eye
I'll burn the books of history
the memories of old
the flames will be the birth
of the first story told
my name will be the name
of the first man who lived
first emperor of China
Shih Huang Ti
I will build a wall
the largest ever seen
around the whole Empire
to the memory of me
I am the greatest ruler
of unending dynasty
a thousand sons of power
into eternity
my wall and warriors
will be testament to the world
of the power that I hold
