The Garden of Forking Paths

Just another folk-rock song about Jorge Luis Borges.

You were a friend and I was an enemy I was a ghost and a trick of your memory I was a scholar and I was a spy I saved your life and I left you to die There is no future and there is no past here in the garden of forking paths I've been a soldier and I've been a priest I see the bombers, the blood in the street I've slept under awnings in Argentine slums steeling my soul for the judgment to come The killing is slow but the dying is fast here in the garden of forking paths Billions of lives the earth, the sea, the sky and all their fates decided by the wings of a butterfly I'll pull the trigger and I'll feel the wound I'll lay the bricks and I'll lay in the tomb I'll be the jury, I'll be the accused I'll look at you like there's nothing to lose I've searched for so long but I found you at last here in the garden of forking paths

Wow, this song is great! I love this style of folk rock, and the lyrics are really cool too. I'm going to go check out your other music.

This is sort of filk-y, in a good way. The distilled essence of a Borges story.

'Just another one', I love it.

Great song, ludwig_van, the band is sounding awesome these days. Now the page won't let me favorite stuff, but if I could, I would have favorited this song.
