A Child and a Shaman Songtext
von Butterfly Temple

[Words of a Child:]

I gaze with agazement
At a world without name
Beneath cloudy raiment
From whence now I came

I hear as the grass grows
At soring′s tender hhard
My heart pumps green hillows
To every steam

[Both:]

A trouvere of a new May
In butterfly's fane
I, m a note of the great lay
Composed by the main

[Song of a Shaman:]

A theme that is profound
I play at my ease
When wanderig spellbound
In ecstatic bliss


I dance like a moth with my senses numb
As did my feet in ancient times
To a million souls primeval rhymes
That from the inside beat my drum

They see just a shape cught in fire-lit spree
A wondroust image in essence nude
And envy yhic godlike solitude
(They, who) endorwed with gift of saying ′we'

[Both:]

Of nature unspoken we share different shapes
Of stellar sonata, of nightingale's stayes
Yet face of each other we cannot descry
This ′Mirour de l′Omme' lies before our eyes!

[Song of a Shaman:]

A paradox′s door-man
A shepherd of dawn
With my hands I'm warming
The fiery glow

They attribute me wonders
Of ignorance′s van
Forsaking The Marvel
The on that is Man
