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
