The Eagle and the Dove
BERNARD BUTLER, JESSIE BUCKLEY
Love rules the day
Faith unfolds the night
Lust leads the way
In the shadows of our lives
Daughter of desire
Oh, dower of light and fire
Forces rule our lives
Feelings move the tide
The strong will bind
The weak left behind
Spring turns to fall
The matador and the bull
Shadows fade to lust
The eagle and the dove
Bull falls away
Matador weaves the stage
Lust takes its toll
Wild beast takes control
Sons of desire
Tempering the fire
Dance of death and life
In each of us the giant
Poppies in the sand
Love played its hand
Feelings left you blind
The weak left behind
Spring will turn to fall
The matador will kill the bull
And shadows fall to dust
The eagle and the dove
