BUTTERFLY LOVERS

songer.co/song/kfuxcl6o4174njro9t82lspc Verse 1 She hides behind the world they’ve made, A daughter’s place, a masquerade. But in her heart, the truth burns bright, A love she can’t let go, out of sight. Pre-Chorus 1 Through the years, their souls have danced, A silent bond, a fleeting glance. But promises made, in the shadows creep, And she’s not the one he’s allowed to keep. Chorus 1 She falls in love, but love won’t stay, A tear falls where the dreams decay. What is love, if it can’t be free? What is love, if it can't just be? Verse 2 The day arrives, her heart in chains, A wedding feast, but only pain. Her thoughts drift back to where he lies, The storm above, the truth inside. Pre-Chorus 2 A thunder breaks, her heart it calls, To where he waits, behind those walls. Her feet take steps she can’t deny, To where the earth will kiss the sky. Chorus 2?l She stops the procession, bridal red, The world around her, turning dead. The storm it howls, her love stands still, And by his grave, she bends her will. Bridge The earth gives way, a storm of fate, She leaps to him, the lovers' gate. The thunder roars, but love is clear, She joins him now, forever near. Chorus 3 (Triumphant Rebirth) All is dark, the storm is loud, But silence falls, the air is proud. Then from the grave, two souls take flight, Two butterflies, they kiss the light. Outro And they fly, they fly away together Under a thousand splendid suns Two butterflies, they kiss the sky, Together forever, never to say goodbye Note: "The Butterfly Lovers" is a Chinese Love Legend centered around the tragic romance between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
