lyrics

CYANIDE BUTTERFLY
(Lyrics)

don’t call me sweetheart, my mother used to
killed by her man, she was a prostitute, too
my name is beatriz, i’m good in what i do
in the dead of the night... i’m coming for you
no personal reasons, no vengeance i seek
it’s plain justice, i protect the meek
your name is written in blood on my book
you should haven’t taken what you took

...a butterfly that stings...
try and rip off my wings!
cyanide butterfly
dressed to kill, ready to die
cyanide butterfly
no tears left to cry

all say i’m a beautiful, kind hearted girl
to all the good people i am like a pearl
can’t forgive if you hurt my friend
heaven and hell meet in one night stand
i’ll kiss and please you, make you want more
then you’ll discover what i’m really here for
i’ll beat and kill, leave you dead on the floor
avenging angel, or killing whore
...a butterfly that stings...
joy and death it brings
try and rip off my wings!
