One for Sorrow

This painting was inspired by a song of the same name by the band Insomnium. Like the song, this painting represents somene who clings to the memory of a relationship long gone. It expresses the hopelessnes caused by the belief that sorrow always prevails against love, and that therefore every relationship is destined to fail.

It look two to summon the thunder
One to bring down the rain
Two to torn all asunder
One to suffer the pain

Two to crush dreams and wonders
One to lose everything
All once beautiful and sacred
Nothing but in vain

Always one for sorrow
Never one for love
Two souls destined to failure
Right from the start

Always one for sorrow
Never one for love
Two souls set for departure
Before the nightfall
