about

Strongly inspired by "Matador" by Barnaby Conrad (pub. 1952)

lyrics

Alicante
Take this man
Take this vessel these long years have drained
Take these fears that I hold
Take this shell that remains

Alicante
Won’t you hold me
Take me in your arms don’t let go
Promises always the same
Trading this shadow for my soul

Once there was fire in these eyes
No fear no doubt no disguise
These weak hands were strong
…ever longing
Just for this light in my dreams
In the grey streets below
I hear their cries
Calling for glories they’ve known
Oh but I see the blood in their eyes

This scarlet day lays
I close my eyes I pray
Into the sun the lonely one lonely

On this day my name they will cry
Then ‘neath this sword I will lie

Once there was fire in these eyes
No fear no doubt no disguise
These weak hands were strong
…ever longing
Just for this light in my dreams
Just for this light in my dreams
