Yngvarr Nowicki - God of Blues

[Verse 1]
He walked into the fire, just to make 'em smile,
Bleedin’ on the stage, but he stayed awhile.
Laughin’ through the pain, dancin’ through the flame,
They cheered his name, but never knew his name.

[Pre-Chorus]
A soul for sale, a man unmade,
He burned for crowds who walked away.

[Chorus]
No cries, no tombstone song,
Just silence where he once belonged.
He gave his light, we played along...
Now he's gone, and we failed a god.

[Verse 2]
He bore the weight with a joker’s grin,
Dyin’ slow beneath his skin.
A saint in chains with a crooked crown,
He stood tall while the world knelt down.

[Pre-Chorus]
He screamed in chords, he spoke in strings,
But we were deaf to holy things.

[Chorus]
No cries, no candle flame,
No statue built, no one to blame.
He gave us truth, but we just nod…
Then turn away—we failed a god.

[Outro]
He ain't comin’ back, the fire's out cold,
But his riffs still haunt the bones of the bold.
And every time you fake your applause,
Remember the man… you made a lost cause.
