The soulful riff of the guitar,
a sliver of his heart ;
lost in the adulation,
tale of two lives drifting apart .

The riff reaches a crescendo,
carries the crowd along ;
ignorant appreciate the melody,
others know its not just a song.

The guitarist down on his knees,
seeks redemption from above;
fans hail their messiah,
while he dreams of two white doves.
