"Bullfighter"

Look at me in the eye

I will slay you, turn you

into human flesh

and much to my dismay

you will be coming back charging

while my eyes are blood-shot red

like the disdain infiltrated in your lungs

nowhere to hide, impossible to run

they say I drink too fast well,

they drink too slow

so let my ****** steel sword

allow me to valiantly retort

time to grab the bull by the horns

like the most gracious Matador

either we make it out alive

or do battle until we are both comatose

like a coward trying to breathe

his way out of a room full of thugs

I am going to see you at the morgue

since I don't fear death

alas, death fears me

I am beyond everything that stands

and I stand above everything that breathes

life has built me a shrine

to illuminate every last day that I live

even if I never die at your hands

for better or much likely for worse

like so many others before

I am taking you with me.
