Arena The Butterfly Man Lyrics

The Butterfly Man Lyrics

He waits in the dark for lives misguided and wrecked

 The catcher of innocent souls

 He's proud of his human collection

 Of losers who give up the chase

 Of winners who fail to look round

 He creeps up behind the fallen and blind

 They're gone! With hardly a sound

 

 Save me

 Oh somebody reach out a hand

 Save me

 From eternity caught in the grip of 

 The Butterfly Man

 

 He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hate

 He hides behind ignorance

 And it's never too long that he has to wait

 A gentle caress

 Is enough before fear takes a hold

 The warning signs come far too late

 By then he'll have captured your soul

 

 Save me

 Ah, somebody reach out a hand

 Save me

 From the agony caught in the grip

 Of the Butterfly Man

 

 Save me

 Ah, somebody reach out a hand

 Save me

 From eternity caught in the grip

 Of the Butterfly Man

 

 "I've been here for so long

 Don't even know what my purpose ever was

 I don't even know where I belong

 Through the years I've been waiting

 Even time has lost it's meaning

 Don't even know where I belong"

 

 "Can't ever turn from this path

 Don't even know what alternatives there are

 Perhaps I wandered too far

 I've been here for so long

 Don't even hope for an end to all of this

 I have no choice, but to carry on"

 

 There you are fighting to escape from the womb

 Dying in the snares of your chosen beliefs

 Were you not set free far too soon?

 There you are 

 Bathing in the warmth of creation

 Drowning in the blood oOf your chosen beliefs

 Prisoners of fate

 Living in a state of sedation

 

 Save me

 Ah, somebody reach out a hand

 Save me

 Ah, somebody reach out a hand!

 Save me

 From eternity caught in the grip

 Of the Butterfly Man

 

 He waits in the dark

 The catcher of elegant souls

 Extravagant souls

 Belligerent souls

 

 He waits in the dark

 His arms open wide

 Never too short

 Never too tall

 He'll take them all
