Cover art for Never To Reveal lyrics by Flotsam and Jetsam

actually, now i think this song is specifically about trying to keep a secret from the police. The police are riding him hard and hes a suspect in a major crime. Possibly a crime of passion and he wants some space from the police. eventually in the last verse it seems that the cops try beat a confession out of him while he is handcuffed. "My hands at my back, pushing violent acts The truth an artifact" "Kicking out this make believe"

so they beat him untill he confesses a false version of events. Or something like that.
