The Priest and the Matador

by paradise lost

Here I lie
I'm staring at
Clouds in shapes of
Dogs and cats.
I hear a woman
Start to yell
Oh dear God, I think he fell!
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell.
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down.
A priest is rushing
To my side,
Begins to read me
My last rights.
Father you're too late
My faith is weak
So won't you save your
half-hearted speech?
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell.
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down.
A man bends down and says, Son,
We're going to get through this one
take my hand and let us pray...
I scream, Please get the fuck away!
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell.
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down.
The ambulance is singing
As cops push back the crowd
I start to take my last breath,
As blood pours out my mouth.
The medic's walking my way
I think this could be it.
I hear him start to state the time of death is half past six.
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
