Lyrics
On the wings of the butterfly
From the rings of the falling sky
I linger in my dreams to stay the pain
On the wings of the butterfly
We will sing of a mother's lie
And every sorry soul shall know my name
(Oooh oh, oooh ooh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh... Etc... lungo e sincopato)
Beneath the empty womb
The leaves come gently falling
My golden guise a failing remedy
Our tree is halved and kewn
Yet, I can hear you calling
Your voice still echoes silently
Torn apart are we
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
On the wings of the butterfly
In the deep where we dim and die
I shed my stricken skin, this crumbling bark
All the ruin that I have wrought
All the scars of the battles fought
Through sightless eyes I gaze into the dark
And in my still repose
Time passes oh so slowly
In shrouded shelter I remain confined
Until the flower grows
Blossom of blight will hold me
So I may bloom a final time
I will dance divine
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
And I'm still longing
For the comfort that you brought
No sign or song of what I've sought
I will dance divine
Down in these roots I slumber
My form it falls asunder
Feed me these dregs to conquer
So I may taste my honour lost
I will a dance divine
I will a dance divine
Oooh... Oooh vocalizi
On the wings of the man of fly
From the rings of the all in shine
I linger in my dreams to stay the pain
On the wings of the butterfly
We will sing of a mother's lie
And every sorry soul shall know my name
They will know my name
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
In darkness stay and dance divine
From the rings of the falling sky
I linger in my dreams to stay the pain
On the wings of the butterfly
We will sing of a mother's lie
And every sorry soul shall know my name
(Oooh oh, oooh ooh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh... Etc... lungo e sincopato)
Beneath the empty womb
The leaves come gently falling
My golden guise a failing remedy
Our tree is halved and kewn
Yet, I can hear you calling
Your voice still echoes silently
Torn apart are we
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
On the wings of the butterfly
In the deep where we dim and die
I shed my stricken skin, this crumbling bark
All the ruin that I have wrought
All the scars of the battles fought
Through sightless eyes I gaze into the dark
And in my still repose
Time passes oh so slowly
In shrouded shelter I remain confined
Until the flower grows
Blossom of blight will hold me
So I may bloom a final time
I will dance divine
I've waited so long for you

Onto the faintest hope I hold

Fend off the fortunes long foretold

To rot in purest gold

To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
In darkness stay and dance divine
