Story Behind The Song

I was inspired by the movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, in this film the leading actress seemed like a delicate little girl at first but that was just an act. She was as hard as nails.

Song Description

Women are born fighters.

Lyrics

Iron Butterfly

Verse:
Prima ballerina with a sword in her hand
Some might say she?s a gift from the promise land
Dragon butterfly they don?t understand
Why you play around with danger like it?s Disneyland
 
Pre-chorus:
She broke every meaningless illusion
Big surprises come from where you least expect them to
 
Chorus:
Have you seen the iron butterfly?
She?s a clever lonely hero young and free
Have you seen her fighting for her life?
Dancing on walls and water flying in a starry sky
She?ll defeat you while she?s holding her tea
And she?ll so you what it means to free
And you know you want to be free
 
Verse:
Little iron maiden well it must be grand
To have total freedom at your command
Dragon butterfly they don?t understand
Why you play around with danger like it?s Disneyland
 
Pre-chorus:
She broke every meaningless illusion
She may look like procaine but her iron will is not that thin at all
