The Last Matador of Bayonne

Joe Bonamassa

I hold out hope 
But it stalls 
Soon, the last curtain falls 
A hundred years of past has spoken 

All the great warriors 
Are sown into history's flag 
Like a book of the seven seals 
Of the hero's past 
Through fires, revolutions 
Dust storms and conclusions 
Will the show go on tonight? 
For one more time 

I fight on, 
Fight on, 
I'm the last matador of Bayonne 
For tomorrow this place falls 
Into silence 

There's a path 
Traveled by many 
Say one more prayer for my family 
Like a ship without a sail 
Cast adrift 

I fight on, 
Fight on 
I'm the last matador of Bayonne 
A hundred years of past 
Now are gone
