  • [ lyrics: natalie merchant/music: j.c. lombardo ]
  • There were women holding rosaries
  • On the day manolete died
  • Teenage girls in soft white dresses
  • Standing silent peace respecting
  • Groups of boys held in their hands
  • The fragments of a shattered idol
  • The old men with their traditions challenged
  • Refrained from tears
  • Neck neck hook
  • Poles of wood
  • The picadores stood eyes ablaze
  • To view brutal contest
  • In the vale of years
  • Courage unfailing
  • Agility exhausted
  • Youth entered challenge
  • Reached for title shelved
  • Patrons in attendance
  • To disarm a common myth
  • Homage played to the victor of immortality
  • Cloaked in bold tones
  • In the stockyard the beasts
  • Did climb their barriers
  • Bid by a frenzied ring
  • Bred for one purpose only
  • To die in mans sport
  • Dash against his spindle
  • An instant fell to wounding
  • On the day
  • Swords penetrating
  • On the day
  • Torches igniting
  • On the day
  • Flower wreaths encircling
  • The day
  • On the day
