Nevermore is a North American progressive metal band from Seattle, Washington. Their precise musical style is debated by fans and critics alike. The band incorporates elements from styles such as death, thrash, and progressive metal into their songs, and also makes use of acoustic guitars and a wide range of vocal styles. They started in the beginning of the 1990s, when the band Sanctuarywas pressured by its recording label to change its musical style, switching from heavy metal to grunge, which was obtaining mainstream success at the time due to bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Two members of the band, vocalist Warrel Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard, didn't agree with the change and thus proceeded to create a project of their own.

Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
Look at me, I'm on display
Another animal in this zoo our creator betrayed
If you don't feel the lesson, you're blind and deaf my son
But don't run
Look at me, I'm on the wire
I am not your saviour
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
I am not your saviour
Look at me, I'm never afraid
I'll never look back in disdain
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
