    Story Behind the Song
    Song was written and inspired by reading Edgar Allen Poes classic "The Raven" many, many times.

    Lyrics
    Outside and around me, it hangs in the air
    Below and beneath me is fear and despair
    Memories of loved ones lost long ago
    Still haunt my dreams as if to show
    That in life, nothing's certain in future or past
    I see this with sorrow finally, at last

    Knocking and tapping
    Stir me awake
    I call out "Who's there?"
    No one answers, I shake

    The silence is eerie
    To the door I make way
    Broken by tapping
    The silence fades away

    Who can this be
    At an hour this late?
    Why must they come now
    Why can it not wait?

    In flies a shadow
    Astonished, I peer
    At a slick nightly raven
    I'm struck down with fear

    What's the meaning of this?
    I simply must know
    What name has this creature?
    Why will he not go?
    What's your name, oh stately raven?
    How come you're so bold?
    Pallid bird of the night
    With a stare oh so cold
    These questions I had,
    For the answers I searched
    With a flirt and a flutter,
    The raven just perched

    With only one word
    Did this raven reply
    A word without meaning
    Was it a lie?

    Nevermore

    Nevermore

    This ominous creature
    Spoke this one word so clear
    I stood there in wonder
    Disbelieving my ears

    I pull up a seat
    My mind finally at ease
    Like friends long before you
    I fear you will leave

    Nevermore

    Nevermore

    A chill crossed my body
    The air grew thick and reeked
    Of memories from my past
    And the answers I seek
    Prophetic in his croaking
    Could he have known
    The sorrow and fear
    I carry all alone?
    Angel or demon,
    Why must you torment me?
    Your word's pierced my being
    My anger you'll see

    Here in my sorrow
    I lie tired and weak
    Yet the raven remains
    My heart pierced by his beak

    At last I take comfort
    In this moment I see
    What cannot be changed
    Must simply just be

    Memories forgotten
    Must always carry on
    To guide and to aid
    Until we are gone

    Nevermore will I dwell
    On sorrow and pain
    Nevermore will I lament
    I have nothing to gain

    Nevermore
