He didn't know what was becoming of him.

His open sob was his closing hymn.

The girl he had learned to love was gone.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

His mother had rejected his sight.

Closing him off from all the light

Gave him a mask so she couldn't glance upon.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

The teacher he had found had cared.

His daughter wasn't very prepared.

She was convinced that she had won.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

The boy who idolized him was sick.

It wasn't proved to be a cruel trick.

The angel watched 'till his life had withdrawn.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

The friend he had gained from the trip was stern.

He proved to be very concerned.

Yet he risked his life for a demon spawn.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

The singer he had trained was pure.

But she proved herself to be immature.

She believed he was like an angel's son.

His broken heart beat when on and on.

Here he was, in his solitude.

Finding this not surprisingly new.

So when all was said and all was done.

His broken heart beat was soft and gone.
