Story behind the song
Based off of the poem, The Raven
Lyrics
Midnight calls, the shadows creep,
Secrets buried, silence deep.
A tapping, a rapping, what lies in store?
This is the tale of Nevermore.
*(Verse 1)*
Once upon a midnight dreary, I sat broken, weak and weary,
Lost in books of haunted lore, chasing ghosts forevermore.
A sound at the door, like death's own hymn,
Whispers of shadows, pulling me in.
I opened wide, the darkness stared,
The cold night air, it stripped me bare.
No voice, no soul, just the void's embrace,
Yet the weight of doom filled the space.
*(Chorus)*
"Nevermore," the Raven cries,
Under its gaze, my sanity dies.
Perched on the bust, it seals my fate,
Whispering truths I love to hate.
"Nevermore," it haunts my mind,
A cursed refrain I cannot unbind.
*(Verse 2)*
I called to the beast with a trembling voice,
Its words cut deep, leaving no choice.
"Tell me, bird, of Lenore, my queen,
Will I hold her again, or is it just a dream?"
But its stare bore deep, like an icy grave,
A message carved in the damned and depraved.
No comfort, no solace, just that cursed refrain,
An echo of madness in my brain.
*(Chorus)*
"Nevermore," the Raven cries,
Under its gaze, my sanity dies.
Perched on the bust, it seals my fate,
Whispering truths I love to hate.
"Nevermore," it haunts my mind,
A cursed refrain I cannot unbind.
*(Bridge)*
The shadows dance, the walls close in,
A symphony of torment begins.
I clutch my heart, but the beating slows,
The Raven's curse, it overthrows.
Its wings spread wide, it takes the night,
Snuffing out the final light.
My soul is chained, my hopes no more,
Forever trapped in "Nevermore."
*(Outro)*
Beneath its gaze, I writhe and scream,
A prisoner in this twisted dream.
Its voice still echoes, cold and sure,
"Nevermore," the final cure.
*(Echoing fade-out)*
"Nevermore," it calls, the silence roars...
"Nevermore," forever yours.
