Cover art for Jane Doe lyrics by Within Temptation

To me this is about a person who killed someone and he is feeling extreme guilt about it. Originally I thought he did it for a cult or a gang or a religion or somehting but now I think he may have done it for himself. I think she knew something about him that she shouldn't have so he killed her. When I first heard this song, I thought imeediatly of a girl I knew through school who was killed by a gang because she witnessed them commiting some sort of crime. Just a thought.
