There once was a tune which did but play A melody of heavenly descent Able to mend the broken heart of man Washing desolation of the soul All doubt drowned out and gone And sewing the pieces back again But this song when final notes sound Would take the life of those who heard So no man listened or attempted to endure In fear of the consequences of its curse Until there stepped a broken boy Torn by shame and shattered dreams With nothing to his name he grit his teeth Immersing his mind in the deep waters of this elegant sound Journeying through the crescendos and diminuendos of life itself When final verse of notes did play Opening his eyes, the old man which took the boys place Realized, that he was reborn again And his desolate life was good again Thanks to his decision To endure that song As he died with a smile upon his face

Swift Song of Endurance
There once was a tune which did but play A melody of heavenly descent Able to mend the broken heart of man Washing desolation of the soul All doubt drowned out and gone And sewing the pieces back again But this song when final notes sound Would take the life of those who heard So no man listened or attempted to endure In fear of the consequences of its curse Until there stepped a broken boy Torn by shame and shattered dreams With nothing to his name he grit his teeth Immersing his mind in the deep waters of this elegant sound Journeying through the crescendos and diminuendos of life itself When final verse of notes did play Opening his eyes, the old man which took the boys place Realized, that he was reborn again And his desolate life was good again Thanks to his decision To endure that song As he died with a smile upon his face
