The Fifth Plague |
Beasts of the field we stand |
Somewhere between darkness and man |
Part of the plan |
Part of the proof |
Of the fifth plague |
Ah, to die in a grove |
On a spring day |
Tipped over by God |
Part of the proof |
Part of the plan |
Of the fifth plague |
Not the glorious death of the sacred bull |
But slaughtered and pitched like rotten junk |
Into the land of the dead |
Where mummified kings and queens wait |
In their own heaven |
Beasts of the field we stand |
Somewhere between darkness and man |
Part of the plan |
Proof of the power |
Of the fifth plague |
Like the dying bull in the ring |
Struck by the picadores |
The last sound he hears in this dusty world |
The out of tune trumpets and the sound of applause |
As the matador bows |
