Butterfly Suite

"BUTTERFLY SUITE (performed by June to Shiny's spacecraft): June awakens on this fresh 'morn' to sing her daily song of love, floating out a butterfly origami to Shiny as a symbol of devotion. Unaware that at this moment Shiny has enacted 'The March of Life'; which by right legally allows any penitent to break free; and sends their ship on an irrevocable course towards the heart of the Sun." (ATUM story notes)

 

Lyrics

Who sweeps a squalid rain
To scan through pinks and gray
Aloft, without escape
Above a frightened race
In touch with wanderlust
A tome of other's dust
Yet settled on the first rung
It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
As our love has begun

To hold you from afar
To sing out, butterfly
Arms forth
But Mars presides for dances rent with pride
It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
As our love has begun
I'm here to be
To stave the dream with you
Believe

Cascade, 'cause here I am to follow you with I
Collide, with dead stars, I shall follow you unto I

For love incants freedom
For love it makes one dumb for love

It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
As our love has begun
Across a swathe of Tuesdays
We've swept through tears spun gold
Adrift upon dread heaven
Strangers as their own
I'm here to be
To stave the dream with you
Believe
I'm here to be
To stave the dream with you
Believe
