He stands almost two stories tall
Magnificent creature
Cloven hooves and all
Black, rich black
From bow to stern
An unbroken ebon swell
Black, rich black
Plucked from the tar pits of hell
Muscles rippling 
Shimmering grains of endless dark sand
Sculpted by hand
Under the watchful and depraved eye 
Of the prince called Shaitan
Two mighty horns upon his head
Newly burnished from base to tip
Large malefic eyes 
Flaming ruby red
Powerful and strong
A perfectly coiled tail
He's a bull
Bullish black and ready to sail

Nostrils flaring
Prancing and stomping
Midnight raging
Close your eyes and picture
The
Effortlessly nation hopping
Destruction sowing
Death bringing
Black Bull running

From a quiet street in Iowa
Paris bound
Through the Eiffel tower
Bull raging
Here comes New York
Hard and furious fast
Symbols shattering
So much for gilded glass
A thunderous and silent sound
Bull raging
London Bridge starts tumbling down

Across Europe and Asia
Carving a new and colder Siberia
Breathing eastern brimstone  
On Babylon and Persia
Bull raging 
Through red-tainted China
Modern
And sub Saharan
Africa
One storied beginning
Another one ending
On a bull rush

Bull raging
Island hopping
Hurricane causing
Volcano erupting
Earth storming
Black Bull raging
There's wailing
Teeth gnashing 
Mankind and his benefactors bawling
Young and old 
Every shade, age, size and color
Bull gone mad 
Bowling them all over

Through the water
The mountains
Over
Through the bus
The train and the limo
No place 
This Bull can't go

Nostrils flaring
Prancing and stomping
Midnight raging
Close your eyes and picture
The
Effortlessly nation hopping
Destruction sowing
Death bringing
Black Bull rushing
