Its a pageant, and its all about the culture
\nSo those of you who feel animals have rights
\nKeep your eyes off what we do, and what we’ve done for centuries
\nFor our sights are set on great Bulls and great fights
\nBorn and raised in country camps, fed and watered well
\nAllowed to run, to eat fresh grass for at least 4 years,a spell
\nWhen their highly muscled body becomes a rippling dream
\nBuilt and trained to fitness great fighters it would seem<\/p>\n

Brave and fierce and ready to enter the ring of fear
\nTo bravely fight which is their right and perhaps to win the cheer
\nOf the wildly decked out Spaniards, out to see it all
\nThe struggle for survival all the passion
\nand the gall
\nThis creature held in high regard a true fighting machine
\nWill take on various members with their swordplay and their skean
\nAnd so dispatch this wondrous brute to Heaven in the sky
\nBorn to fight all this was right and respected now to die<\/p>\n

Death comes pretty slowly though torture and blood loss, we
\nweep as this bold creature cries out yes inwardly
\nto show a hint of cowardice in the face of
\nconstant threat,<\/p><\/div>\n

as the weaponry is thrust and its body clearly wet
\nWith oozing blood, its oxygenated fluids to be seen
\nIt sinks into the ground and dies this most esteemed machine.<\/p>\n

El Matador faced injury he skitted here and there,
\nhe threw his crimson cloak around, his flashes he did share
\nThe Bull by this time frantic saw movement and he tried
\nTo fight off his attacker which his blood loss had denied
\nThrough March until October the rewards are blood and gore
\nWarriors and worriers now come into the fore
\nThe culture of the perpetrators, the essential thing
\nAnd all of their creative drama played out in the ring<\/p>\n

Heart pumping, you can see the Bull is angry,
\nto be taken from its country pasture where
\nit ran about, there was no doubt Heaven it had found
\nand now to be forced to leave that place and in its own blood drowned
\nOf course the Bull is angry, and frustrated as to why
\na highly developed sensitive soul had been chosen now to die
\nAnd In front of a baying multitude, on a day out in the sun
\nChildren, Parents boys and girls what had that Bull done
\nto deserve an end so miserable, so savage
\nso forlorn
\nKilled by a prancing dandy in his suit of lights
\na horn
\nwould cut that arse hole down to size
\ncould be there was a chance
\nwithin the throes of death both could enjoy the dance
\nand it does happen sometimes El Matador does find
\nHis antics, perhaps an off day and the Bull
\njust gets to grind
\nHis horns into his body and toss him like some toy
\nand trample on his bloody pride and salvage a little joy<\/p>\n

Though I have to say the earthling’s not equipped with senses for
\nto feel the need of a joyous thought, whilst approaching death’s dark door
\nThat’s a human trait,for perhaps revenge is a lowering of soul
\nFor this brave Bull dies, and kicks where he lies,and admits he’s lost control.
\nEL Matador has been in a war he may also die that’s true
\nIt happens that the Bull fights back, its a risky business too<\/p>\n

Its a pageant its a culture but I question could it be
\na culture of the past and might it possibly
\nbe over cooked and ready to advance into the now
\nFor earthlings everywhere have rights let me show you how
\nAn animal has rights not to perish in this way
\nWhen it clearly had its faculties and was bold and strong, to say
\nIt had reached its end significantly is an arrogance of man
\nFor that Bull could have lived and sired many more which was I think God’s plan.<\/p>\n

The occasion, the trumpets sounded, the adrenaline rush was there
\nThe testosterone I heard the groan
\nOf euro’s everywhere
\nIts a pageant, its a wondrous time
\nin the calendar of SPAIN
\nas we see one s
\naway from what is clearly abject PAIN
\na fitting name then possibly
\nFor a country that believes
\nThat an animals right is to come and fight
\nand somehow that achieves<\/p>\n

a good result for all parties
\npossibly that’s true
\nBut the Spanish might also turn around
\nand point towards some of you
\nWho are party to the slaughter of
\nbillions yes you too
\nPigs and piglets, sheep and lambs,goats and kids all factory farmed
\nCows and calves,deers and fawns,ducks and chickens if it moves its harmed
\nFish in the sea zillions are killed
\nand the planet is ravaged with the blood that’s spilled
\nThe water we drink is tainted by, the run off of slurry that fills the sky
\nForests are downed mangroves too and the raging torrents just sail on through<\/p>\n

Now I am,vegan of many years almost 4 decades, my share of tears
\nIs thinking of the Bulls and all earthling souls,
\nof indigenous peoples and the poor whose roles
\nare to slave for the corporates day and night
\nthey can hardly afford what is their right
\nlike the animal earthlings are regarded as fair
\ngame for the rich and there’s many out there
\nI saw this light aeons ago
\nI realised animals that I loved so
\nTo see them die at the hands of fiends
\nPaid to lie to themselves, the scenes
\nfrom Hell in the abattoir each day
\nthere are hardly words on earth to say
\nHow sick, how savage, how senseless, we
\nHave drifted into the deadliest sea
\nWhere life is rewarded with devilish zest
\nAnd recombitant versions we now do test
\nThe executioner will some day
\nBe executed come what may<\/p>\n

No animal is born to die to go into another’s pie
\nNo creature big or small should troop slowly into someone’s soup
\nNo animal earthling anywhere should suffer the terrible despair
\nof having its offspring stolen so
\nanother species can build and grow
\nits inference from the milk it made
\ncow nutrition cannot be weighed
\nup for humans it should not be
\ncreated out of cows, and we
\nMust see the Dairy Industry
\nas devils incarnate, my plea
\nIts all a pageant in the end
\nThe trumpets sound as we transcend
\nInto the burning furnace
\nas we buckle and we bend
\nTurned into the ash of time
\nto blow across the earth and be
\npart of something new who knows
\nan island of iniquity.<\/p>\n
