lyrics

We break butterflies on the wheel
For fear they may return
Vengeful in colour

We break dreamers and schemers and seers
For fear they may return
As armies in number

We break butterflies on the wheel
For fear they may inspire
And lost in the beating of wings – a life.

Everybody says it’s the will, it’s the way
But how could we be so wrong?
Everybody says the die is cast.
