Under the dark red rowan trees,
A butterfly perished between caribiners
The lieutenant at the back stepped on a white butterfly
Like our love, the butterfly perished
Like our love, the butterfly perished
On the river's shore sedge is growing
It's said they came on time, but burst in like a storm
Above the silent ground, bats are whirring
And the mute nation beats on officers
And the mute nation beats on officers
The moon is in the sky, like a cheesecake
I buy a bottle of rum at the tavern around the corner,
You will make out with a foreigner tonight
I will sing drunkenly with a captain
I will sing drunkenly with a captain...
