Wings of a Butterfly
H.I.M. · Dark Light [2005]
Heaven ablaze in our eyes
we're standing still in time
the blood on our hands is the wine
we offer a sacrifice
Come on and show
them your love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
my love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
This endless mercy mile
we're crawling side by side
with hell freezing over in our eyes
gods kneel before our crime!
Come on and show
them your love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
my love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
rip out the wings of a butterfly
don't let go
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for you soul
Come on and show
them your love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
my love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
rip out the wings of a butterfly
don't let go
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for you soul
rip out the wings of a butterfly
don't let go
my love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
we're standing still in time
the blood on our hands is the wine
we offer a sacrifice
Come on and show
them your love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
my love
rip out the wings of a butterfly
for your soul
This endless mercy mile
we're crawling side by side
with hell freezing over in our eyes
gods kneel before our crime!
Come on and show
them your love
