See the brave toreador
just look at him thrive
Off the crowd as they roar.
For death brings a thrill
To the everyday lives of the
"non-com" observers
Who gloat and chastise
My mind can't believe we maintain
This barbarous blood thirsty game.
In their picturesque dwellings the aristo-classes
Spill blood that's not claret from cut-crystal glasses.
Never once pausing to contemplate why
For vanity's victories innocents die.
No better than bloodhounds
Hot on the scent
They butcher their prey
When its' energy's spent
My mind can't believe we maintain
This barbarous blood thirsty game.
Please show me this "sportsman"
You mention with pride
With his dog to defend him
And his gun at his side
If courage is the one thing
Your kind do not lack
Then why don't you hunt something
That can fight you back?
I see only cowardice ridden by guilt
And your hands won't wash clean of the blood they have spilt.
What measure of madness makes you all so ill
That your passport to pleaseure's a licence to kill?
So I won't waste my time trying to understand why
For vanity's victories innocents die
'Cus you're all vicious bastards I'm sick of your crap
So I won't bat an eyelid when it's you in the trap.
I still can't believe we maintain
This barbarous blood thirsty game
Skyclad sono una band heavy metal britannica con forti influenze folk nella loro musica. Considerati uno dei pionieri del folk metal, il nome deriva da un termine pagano/wiccan per la nudità rituale, in cui i rituali vengono eseguiti con i partecipanti metaforicamente vestiti solo dal cielo, come segno di uguaglianza. Il nome allude sia alle inclinazioni religiose della band che alle loro convinzioni sociali, come espresse nella canzone "Skyclad" sul loro album d'esordio. Il gruppo ha pubblicato una serie di album tra gli anni '90 e il 2000, combinando elementi di heavy metal con melodie folk tradizionali e testi spesso ispirati alla mitologia e alla storia britannica. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Serpent's Tongue", "The Ballad of the Green Man" e "Skyclad".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
