Black Butterfly Songtext
von Candlemass

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
You 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 ever flow
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, the eyes of the exodus
Oh child, you are the butterfly
In the setting sun
