Analysis of Song Never Sang
Love swallowed up by darkness
Shadow hands reaching out
The artist had failed the test
A deal with the dead
Now the song he never sang
Can never be heard
Cry out heartbroken artist
The first words of our life
With a broken heart
Stare at the stars
Knowing she'll never see
Them ever again
Grief tearing the soul
Limb by limb
Decapitated by tools
Of orgiastic pleasure
Forever sing your song
Echoing through time
Forever play your song
So sweet and painful
