Before The Bullfight — текст песни (David Sylvian)

I hear your voice

Way down inside

A whispering sea

Of towering trees

But no reply



A silence so rare

And more than I can stand

Sweeps like a flood

Through lifes flesh and blood

And steals away with its heart



If Im losing you

Then theres nothing more that I can say

The fighting is on

And battles are won

Or thrown away



But if I could live

Safe and sound

In God given fields

Or mountains of steel

Then here Id stay

Till youd gone



Guilty of stealing

Every thought I own

I will take my turn

To fight the bullfight

Every words sunk in deep

Like the blades of a knife through my heart

But my strength will return

To fight the bullfight



As times come to show

Im told nothing more than I should know

A ship on the sea that threatens to leave

But never goes

This island of blue

Where life clings to your hands

Like water and sand

Will loose its way

When youre gone



When alls forgiven

Still every faults my own

I will take my turn

To fight the bullfight

Say a prayer for my release

When every hope in the world is asleep

And my strength will return

To fight the bullfight
