An absolutely epic poem and song. I could spend all day and every Sundae on the world's deepest internet rabbit hole search but all I can guess is it's possibly (in the most literal interpretation) about a loved one reluctantly coming to grips with the death of his/her mother or sister or wife. I picture her on the operating table as the doctors (awful devil things) try to excise the malignant cells while the protagonist can only imagine or hope that both he/she and she (the patient) could grow wings and transcend the entire scene.
