THE REMORSE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on "El Remordimiento"
by Jorge Luis Borges

I have committed the worst of sins
the worst sin that man can commit
I have not been happy
I have not captured it

glaciers of oblivion
drag me and I'm lost
ruthless in my sin again
heedless of the cost

my parents birthed me in the game
risking life and beauty
for water fire air and land
I cheated failed my duty

young but not in will my mind
applied symmetry was unkind
my art was interweaving trifles
and the happiness was stifled

although I gave all that I could
I was not brave I was not good
but do not leave me do not go
although I am a shadow
