This song was inspired by the documentary ‘Dance of Death’ in honour of our friend Mary Alice Pollard who was associate producer of the film. Each year we will write a song in honour of Mary Alice’s birthday to reflect her lifelong dedication to saving animals and speaking up for their rights. This is the cause she chose for this year’s song.

‘The Dance of Death’

The Matador:

I will conquer you; bring your soul into this ring
I will dance with you, let it begin…

I am humanity; you are the slave to my desire
I have no empathy; you shall burn inside my fire
Impaled upon the sword, warm blood is dripping down your face
I live to bring you war, I am the master of your fate

Dance, for your life, now dance
The dance of death…

You stand alone so brave, confused, the fight you cannot win
My disabled prey, I must destroy you for my sins
I shall not fear my death; your querencia is my own
There is no hope for you, your blood the jewel in my crown

Dance, for your life, now dance
The dance of death…
Dance, for your life, now dance
The dance of death…

The Bull:

I am the dying beast; I hear the silent crying horse
I am your broken feast; my heart dies bleeding on your sword

The Matador:

Dance, for your life, now dance
The dance of death…
Dance, for your life, now dance
The dance of death…

“In bullfighting there is a term called querencia. The querencia is the spot in the ring to which the bull returns. Each bull has a different querencia, but as the bullfight continues, and the animal becomes more threatened, it returns more and more often to his spot.
As he returns to his querencia, he becomes more predictable. And so, in the end, the matador is able to kill the bull because instead of trying something new, the bull returns to what is familiar. His comfort zone.”

In loving memory of Mary Alice Pollard, Cornwall's Voice For Animals,  'I Am The Owner of This Coat' is re-released online this Christmas and available as a free download for all those who wish to share it and help to raise awareness of the need to end the cruel fur trade.

This song was inspired by Mary Alice when we met via the internet in December 2005 and we dedicated it to her tireless work to end cruelty and suffering to sentient beings. 
Our thanks to Bill Pearson for his photography and art work.

'I Am The Owner of This Coat'

I am the owner, the owner of this coat
Brown eyed, small
Without a hope
Soon to perish, soon to cry
Just so you may wear, my fur with pride...

You may not wonder, how I feel
N' you may not know, my pain is real
But I wonder, how you live with YOU
As you live with me -
Now I'm through...

Yes I grace your neck, oh I keep you warm
And through my death, there's your careless arm -
Oh you're stroking oh, what once was alive
My heart, my bone, laid aside...

Now I'm merely, dirt and dust
Just a memory, of broken trust
Just an animal, for you to KILL
A trinket made of life, for your fashion thrill...

Oh I have no voice
Oh I have no name
Just a wretched piece of meat
Drowning in vain
Oh speak for me now
Oh please hear my plea..
Oh don't, don't, don't, don't turn your back on me...

I am the owner, the owner of this coat
Brown eyed, small
Without a hope
Soon to perish, so soon to cry
Just so you may wear, my fur with pride....
