Analysis of Filling My Words
Filling my words with music
the moment took off and flew
All heaven to await its arrival
the Angels and Sirens in view
Filling my words with song
their spirit released once again
The devil to cover his ears
—the past and future in sin
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2018)
