Arena

Arena - 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 - 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 for 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 - somebody reach out a hand

Save me from the agony caught in the grip of

The Butterfly Man'

'Save me - 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 of your chosen beliefs

Prisoners of fate

Living in a state of sedation

'Save me - somebody reach out a hand

'Save me - 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
