Matador

"Matador" is the ninth song on the album Sol Invictus.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]

When lonesome stood over me

A future shadow

He boasted and sang to me

''Farewell, so long ''

'[Bridge 1. a]'

I’ll awake you

From this living sleep

We’ll walk ashore

Where you were born

In bed with me [Verse 2]

Pull the white sheet off your face

March forward, my son

A battle beyond frozen years

''Only for dogs here ''

[Chorus]

We will rise from the killing floor

''Like a matador ''

'[Bridge 2. a]'

The stained glass of bovine eyes

''Can see right through every tombstone lie ''

 [Verse 3]

Let us retrace every step

Out of this world

And every ditch

''Every ditch ''

[Bridge 3]

We will be when you will be no more

''No more ''

'[Bridge 2. b]'

The stained glass up the hangman’s ass

''We served you well, now we’re coming back ''

[Verse 4]

Atop the weight

Of conscious ghosts

We’ll jump the gates

''And live to rise, we will rise ''

''[Chorus 1] '''[Bridge 1. b/ Outro]'

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…
