Anastasia
Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blood red sky on a desert road
Gotta make my way down to Mexico
For what I did I know that it was wrong
The fire in my heart, it will never die
Everything I love will be left behind
No turning back, forever gone tonight

All my love Anastasia, Anastasia
This may be our last goodbye
You can't save me, I am fading
Blood is on my hands tonight

All I need is a miracle
Lawmen got me running now forever more
They'll hunt me down until the end of time
Oh my mama, now I've got to go
Never love another how I've loved you so
I'm so afraid to leave this all behind

All my love Anastasia, Anastasia
This may be our last goodbye
You can't save me, I am fading
Blood is on my hands tonight

All my love Anastasia, Anastasia
This may be our last goodbye
You can't save me, I am fading
Blood is on my hands tonight

Anastasia, Anastasia
For your honor took a life




You can't save me, I am fading
Blood is on my hands tonight

The question now is: what could be the cause of the dilatation? Functional constipation is unlikely, given the normal thyroid function tests and serum electrolytes. Organic causes to consider include Hirschsprung disease, idiopathic megacolon, and colonic dysganglionosis.

Hirschsprung disease is far commoner than the other etiologies listed above; rectal suction biopsy is a fast and safe bedside screening procedure for this condition and a good next step. Here, this shows an absence of ganglion cells in all specimens, confirming the clinical suspicion.
