[00:20.500]I saw a butterfly lift in the wind,
[00:27.500]Drift for a while and come back again.
[00:42.450]Sweet, aching labor, hour after hour,
[00:48.500]Tasting the nectar of every flower.
[01:06.500]Over and over, she plays the game,
[01:12.500]So many times but it's always the same.
[01:20.000]Poor Butterfly.
[01:27.750]I saw a web in the limbs of a tree,
[01:33.500]The whole deadly trap covered in leaves.
[01:48.500]Pale, bloodless mourning cloak waits for the kill,
[01:54.500]Cold, empty spindle, patient and still.
[02:12.450]Over and over, she plays the game
[02:19.000]So many times but it's always the same.
[02:25.590]Over and over, they do the dance.
[02:31.000]They move at the whim of fate, of chance.
[02:38.580]But if only some long lost God at last Could
[02:47.580]come along and erase all the past!
[03:14.000]Over and over, she plays the game.
[03:25.330]Over and over, they do the dance.
[03:37.530]Over and over, the wind beating wild
[02:43.000]And the sweet scented breeze blows on and on.
