The nightmares flee to find the dark
A place where they can hide
Where no light flows on paths unknown
How I wish to be at their side
The dawn creeps in, the light's still dim
The day will purify the world
The night and I we have to die
As I'm the black butterfly
My destiny will be fulfilled
Now you've torn down the walls
Of my resistance and my will
I will not fly but fall
I will not fly but fall
I will not fly but fall
The time is here, I'm pale with fear
The light brings me decay
My lips are burnt, my bones have turned
To ashes, flesh to dust
No kiss upon my lips, not one
No last wish, no farewell
No saviour came to call my name
Down here where shadows dwell
No saviour came to call my name
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
I'm going straight to hell
Fading away
Fading away
The nightmares flee to find the dark
A place where they can hide
Where no light flows on paths unknown
How I wish to be at their side
The dawn creeps in, the light's still dim
The day will purify
The night and I we have to die
As I'm the black butterfly
[x 3:]
Utinam venias
Tu papilio niger
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
...
(No kiss upon my lips, not one
No saviour came to call my name)
(Nicht meine Schuld
Kann nichts dafür
Ich bin doch nur ein wildes Tier)
