In chains you toiled at the hands of men The kine knows not yet it's yoke And strives but as one of the flock But in savagery lies freedom
Pitiless in naked sacrificial rite Those prior masters crucified To such savage cross were nailed Flying headlong into the storm A ferocious beating coruscant Tempest's bliss from tethers torn Such headless corpse will dance
Waves of new freedom was us clean Of ghosts of oblivion's reveries But with all course lost directionless Whither will we go? Where the fuck should we go?
We sail on - ever, ever on Mired rotting leviathans Trouble us no more As the golden future shines
To see such glories yet unseen Quixotic fantasy Such unknown shores where mad beauty And cruel nightmares reign
But have we sailed too far? Where now the shining hope for freedoms future? When 'voyaging' becomes 'dead lost' Bright freedom turns iron cage
The light has fled even from our dreams
The age of creation and new joy has passed As we shudder and fear Then insoluble thunder of mariner's beasts Old horrors and glories lost Cleaving unto the shades of reveries long dead
The butterfly has lost it's wings
And we who sailed with you Who learned to say 'I' Our ship has gone down with all hands
So raise your voices and sing For this butterfly has lost it's wings Sing out your hearts Sing o'er your bowels filled with ashes All hands are lost All hands
