The captain of the ship and his fighting soldiers On a mission for peace, his heart grows colder Animals, it's what we're waiting for
Each and all their cryin' daughters Open up their hearts for slaughter Animals, it's what we're waiting for
You've seen the butterfly And you won't believe You won't believe Still waiting to fly
You've seen the butterfly And it won't be long It won't be long Waiting to fly
Cheek to cheek in a crowded ballroom Into the wild they dance 'til fallen Animals, it's what we're waiting for Silently they whisper words they want to see Images all, animals
You've seen the butterfly And you won't believe You won't believe You're waiting to fly
You've seen the butterfly And it won't be long It won't be long You're waiting to fly
