That run should have left over the file `song02.ps'. Could you try
to run ghostscript manually to convert it to pdf (but omit the `-q'
flag)? Like, just run

gs -dSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612.00 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792.00 \
        -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 \
        -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="./song02.pdf" -c .setpdfwrite \
        -f "song02.ps"

from your shell. This may give a hint about what's wrong.

FWIW, on OpenBSD, where I'm the maintainer of both lilypond and
ghostscript (no coincidence, btw), lilypond-2.12.3 works well with
ghostscript-8.63, and it also worked with ghostscript-8.69, -8.70
and -9.00 (which I all tested during the long way to update
ghostscript).

Ciao,
        Kili
