Analysis of And I Won't Ever Look Back
Cellar Door 2004 (Dublin)
Theres devil hoof prints along these halls
And theres the vat, they trapped my best friend
Around each corner there could be an attack
"Oh and I don't know when this will ever end"
Oh and I won't ever look back
Oh and I won't ever look back
Theres blood stained on these walls
Fire burns in matrons ward
Make sure you have an exit planned
"She died of smoke inhalation"
Oh and I won't ever look back
Oh and I won't ever look back
Theres ghosts behind each door
The room is so dark
Sit quietly, and don't look toward
"And I don't think I can do this anymore"
Oh and I won't ever look back
Oh and I won't ever look back
