Lyric Before the Bullfight

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 life s flesh and blood
And steals away with it s heart

If I m losing you
Then there s 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 I d stay
Till you d gone

Guilty of stealing
Every thought I own
I will take my turn
To fight the bullfight
Every word s sunk in deep
Like the blades of a knife through my heart
But my strength will return
To fight the bullfight

As time s come to show
I m 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 it s way
When you re gone

When all s forgiven
Still every fault s 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
