Lyrics
Black Butterfly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a wounded cockroach, the city died
The sunset cracked, it was time
The fallen dreamland of suburbia
Obsolete and purified
Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Child, you are the butterfly, live and die
Caravan of corpses, endless night
Hypnotic fiery demon in the sky
Sinister and red, oh murder Moon
We're the nameless forever lost, never to bloom
Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Child, you are the butterfly, you live and you die
And I wonder who you are
Oh oh, black butterfly
I see your glow in the everflow
Oh you ghosts in the evening sky
Oh you live and you die
Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Child you are the butterfly in the setting Sun
