The Icon and the Axe

I am never going to love another soul,
Even if I tried to.
And I am never going to live another life,
Even if I'd die to.
And I am never going to rest my weary head,
Or fold these arms together.
And I am never even going to give a shit
If life goes on forever.

They say,
"Oh, lord, the devil went down
To a deep, dark lake, where my body lay drowning
Held me under the sea,
And I point to the river like the ocean was my body."
