Butterfly On A Battlefield (Album Version) 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Our blissful ignorance, a comfortable haze The wolf not far from the door A line is drawn and the challenge is laid There's no peace anymore Sparks fly, the powder is dry Big shock, we come undone Blind colours, the black and the white We aim and fire our guns There's a flag that's flying, it's tattered and burned And through all this violence, what have we learned Through the smoke and fire (There's) a glimmer of hope There's an angel singing A butterfly on a battlefield We lower our guns and our eyes fill with tears We see invisible lines The media machine starts droning once more Its rhetoric fills our minds Lonely, my bothers in arms Fool's war, nobody wins Show me the reason we fight But still the battle begins There's a flag that's flying, it's tattered and burned And through all this violence (Tell me) what have we learned Through the smoke and fire, a glimmer of hope There's a new beginning A butterfly on a battlefield Sparks fly, the dust burns our eyes Bad news for everyone Show me the reason we die We aim our guns and we fire There's a flag that's flying, it's tattered and burned And through all this violence (Tell me) what have we learned Through the smoke and fire (There's) a glimmer of hope There's an angel singing A butterfly on a battlefield A butterfly on a battlefield A butterfly on a battlefield A butterfly on a battlefield

I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do There's a very strange river, that runs through my life A reflection of what I could be There's a fountain of knowledge feeding the spring Feeds the the flowers, the garden, the Tree I do what my mama asks me, I learn what my daddy shows me It's all a question of give and take I do what my mama asks me, I learn what my daddy shows me The Spirit tells me to bend, not break I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do There's a supernova, that shows me the way It's a beacon that holds back the dark It 's a pillar of strength that holds back the fear Raging fire that grew from a spark The lessons, the gifts and nurture, are currency for the future I work hard, train hard to fight easy The lessons, the gifts and nurture, are currency for the future My quest, a pathway to golden glory I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I said, blow your horn and ring ya bell They say you're makin' a noise, but what the hell You got a right to be heard, so tell the whole damn nation 'bout this funky newfound soul liberation Everybody has a right, to make a stand Everybody wants to see, the Promised Land So stamp ya feet and shake ya head If you're in any doubt, remember what I said I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do I, do what I have to do Do what I need to do Do what I want to do

I didn't want to know, about the trouble we're in I didn't want to know, when the panic set in The light inside my heart, was keeping me strong I didn't want to read from the book of sin I didn't want to invite, the chaos and anger Praying to the gods, of broken men They promised Heaven was for the humble soul But now there's nothing left, to fill this wretched hole I stand alone My heart wouldn't believe what my eyes could see But the closer I looked, I found a rage in me Praying to the gods, of broken men My heart was humble then, my eyes were opened wide I'd been praying to, the gods of broken men They can't save me now, they couldn't save me then There is no reasoning with, the gods of broken men I didn't want to know, about the trouble we're in I didn't want to know, when the panic set in Praying to the gods, of broken men My heart wouldn't believe what my eyes could see But the closer I looked, I found a rage in me Praying to the gods, of broken men

Sticks and stones, will make me bleed Break my bones and leave me on my knees A cold knife, straight through my heart Would be a very good place to start, but You don't need a weapon Darling I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words Well one's a party, and two's a crowd That's how you told me, you're getting out We've had our fun, and now we're through You found something, somone better to do You don't need a weapon Darling I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words She's taking over, going back to her roots She's zipping up, her walking boots She's moving in to make the final kill I don't wanna swallow, this bitter pill She don't need a weapon no, no I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words I'm crushed by words Don't need a weapon 'cos I'm crushed by words Tick tock, you punch the clock No sticks, no guns, no stones or rocks Words are weapons, sharper than knives Cuttin' and slashin' right through our lives They can help build nations, they can start a war Got some words for you, but what would that be good for? No tears, no fears, you're gone with the birds With your cold cruel heart, you crush me with words

You tell me you're leaving, well then turn and walk away 'Cos I just don't wanna know How I'm gonna let you go If you wanna stay Don't tell me you're sorry When you know that its a lie 'Cos I'm standing right infront of you Watching all the things you do So wipe the tears from your eyes It's hard to believe that it's over You say you hurt too, well if it's true I'm sorry Baby Take me to the place where Angels guard the sky Tearing down the walls that Keep me locked up inside I just wanna be in Paradise with you Why's it always so hard To get close to you Paradise Oh-oh paradise With you You tell me you're leaving, but you never say goodbye It's a long, cold jagged knife Cuts it's way into my life Leaves my blood to run dry So sad the story But it always ends the same way You build your house to tear it down Parade the thorns in your crown The bleeding starts again Wrapped up in fear Wrapped up in anger Your truth is a lie Looking in your eyes I still believe it Take me to the place where Angels guard the sky Tearing down the walls that Keep me locked up inside I just wanna be in Paradise with you Why's it always so hard To get close to you Paradise Oh-oh paradise With you Paradise, paradise with you Paradise, paradise with you, oh-oh Paradise, paradise with you Paradise, paradise with you

I must have been, living in a dream Watching people go by, I don't know where they're going Suddenly you're standing next to me If this isn't real don't want no-one to wake me Are you an angel sent from heaven Oh please don't drift and fade away Now I live for the night, to take me away Far away from the light, to where you are waiting I hold you so close, a breath and a whisper You fade out of my sight, as soon as I open my eyes Live for the night Live for the night I must have been living in a dream Seems I'm running so fast, but I'm still going nowhere Here it comes, I don't wanna see, How the shadows fade, as the morning light wakes me Oh please don't go, don't leave me lonely I just can't wait another day Now I live for the night, to take me away Far away from the light, to where you are waiting I hold you so close, a breath and a whisper You fade out of my sight, as soon as I open my eyes Live for the night Live for the night Tonight, come to me, and as the night starts to fade Don't let go of me We'll run, to the edge of my dream And dream our way into reality Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh please don't go, don't leave me lonely Oh please don't take your light away Now I live for the night, to take me away Far away from the light, to where you are waiting I hold you so close, a breath and a whisper You fade out of my sight, as soon as I open my eyes Now I live for the night I live for the night I live for the night I live for the night

Wrong Time, Wrong Place 03:39

Where do we start, where do we go? What did we learn, what did we know? Why did we to, why did we fro? Aiming so high, shooting so low How could we know, it was the wrong time for us We couldn't tell, that it would tear us apart We couldn't see, it was the wrong place for us We didn't know, the space between us would break our hearts How could we know? Why did we stop, where is the flow? Running so fast, but taking it slowly, oh Beautiful light, the star of the show Wanting to shine, but can't find the glow How could we know, it was the wrong time for us We couldn't tell, that it would tear us apart We couldn't see, it was the wrong place for us We didn't know, the space between us would break our hearts How could we know? How could we know, it was the wrong time for us We couldn't tell, that it would tear us apart We couldn't see, it was the wrong place for us We didn't know, the space between us would break our hearts How could we know? It was the wrong time for us, we couldn't tell (How could we know, how could we know, Darling?) (We couldn't see, we couldn't tell) We didn't know, the space between us would break our hearts How could we know? Ooh- ooh-ooh How could we know? How could we know? How could we know? How could we know?

Outside the rain, looks like the sky is falling Down, down, down, down Outside the rain, the lightning and the thunder burn Holes into the ground Fire in the sky The rain is bullets and there's Fire in the sky What happened to us, we don't know Nobody knows The Winter burns, but there's no sun to touch the ground There's no sunshine coming down The seasons turn, but still the sun is nowhere To be found Fire in the sky The rain is bullets and there's Fire in the sky What happened to us, we don't know Nobody knows Fire in the sky The rain is bullets and there's Fire in the sky What happened to us, we don't know Nobody knows Fire in the sky The rain is bullets and there's Fire in the sky What happened to us, we don't know Nobody knows Nobody, nobody Fire in the sky oo-oo-ooh Fire in the sky oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Yeah, nobody knows Nobody, nobody

Remember when we were the worst kept secret in town Some so-called 'friends' trying to way a way of tearing us down They couldn't know, It was a force of nature neauvoux Breathing fire, with a life of it's own You saved me from the deadly poison under my skin You built me up, shielded me with my barriers thin Showing me, the colour of music again I knew it then, and I know it today I need your love, I need your love I need your love, I need your love Gaborone nights, tequila shots fuelled the band Three months we burned on the Arabian sand Seychelles 24 hour trip was insane Shy Moon paved the way, for the plans we had made April 28, 2001 We swore our vows, under the African sun A marvelous hurricane, thrown into the mix August 23rd, 2006 I need your love (Keeping the bad at bay, baby) I need your love (Every night, every day) I need your love (I need your love) I need your love I need you love (Yeah-ee-ee-eah) I need you love (Yeah-ee-ee-eah) I need your love (I need your love) I need your love Twenty three years, and we're still stronger than steel Nothing could ever change the way that I feel 'Til the day, my time is over and done You are, you are the one I need your love (The one, my one and only baby) I need your love (A mother, a lover, the only one, one, one, one) I need your love (I need your love) I need you love (You are the sun) I need your love (You're the moon, the stars, the whole world to me) I need your love (I never need another other You're the only one that I need) I need your love (I need your love) I need you love (You are the one) I need your love, I need your love I need your love, I need your love
