Heaven ablaze in our eyes

We're standing still in time

The blood on our hands is the wine

We offer as sacrifice

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Come on lets 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 your soul

[Chorus]

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) [x2]

For your soul
