Matador
Words and music copyright 2008 Steve Swellander
Sunset over blood red sand,
Rose petals drift away
Matador wipes his crimson blade
Kneels before the virgin.
Night wind blows cold
shadows gather black
Matador dreams of times
Not haunted by the bull.
Predator and prey
beginning and end
Astas y estoque
capote y sangre
The finery, the gallantry
Sudden stink of death,
fear stabs deep in burning eyes
Fury to survive.
Animal grace; weight of death
Sweet virgin open arms
Abrazo: grave of night,
hero and beast: encuentro
Matador kneels like an ancient knight
Evening sprays her black hair
Sword in sheath retired,
Will he sleep or die tonight?
