Matador lyrics

When lonesome stood over me

A future shadow

He boasted and sang to me

Farewell, so long

I’ll awake you

From this living sleep

We’ll walk the shore

Where you were born

In bed with me

Pull the white sheet off your face

March forward, my son

A battle beyond frozen years

Only for dogs here

We will rise from the killing floor

Like a matador

The stained glass of bovine eyes

Can see right through every tombstone lie

Let us retrace every step

Out of this world

And every ditch

Every ditch

We will be when you will be no more

No more

The stained glass up the hangman’s ass

We served you well, now we’re coming back

Atop the weight

Of conscious ghosts

We’ll jump the gates

And live to rise, we will rise

We will rise from the killing floor

Like a matador

Let the dead live

May the dead live

And the dead live

What more can we give?

Let the dead live

May the dead live

And the dead live

The dead live…
