What do they know
That we are doing here

I met you first as a child
Burning with fever
In my mother’s arms

You did not take me then
Yet you left as a wound
The horror of your vacant eyes

Each time
I hung over the edge
Your mouth opened wide
I was again that child
With nowhere to hide
Not even in God

So now again
It is you and I

You as a bull
I as a matador
With this whole
Stupid oblivious world
Sun stars indifferent moon
Looking on

Come Senor
Let us determine at last
How I shall walk this Earth

The drummer beats
The trumpet sounds

Wow, I truly enjoyed this one, Huan Yi.

I can feel the build up to the climax... and the moment upon you.

Nicely done.
