[Intro] (Ambient freezing wind + distant monastic chanting + slow dissonant guitar swells + raven cries and tapping on wood) [Verse 1 – Abyssal growls, short violent imagery] Midnight taps upon my chamber door A shadow bird demands forevermore Eyes like dying coals, wings of endless night It whispers loss and steals the final light [Pre-Chorus – Tormented layered screams with repetition] Never… never… nevermore… Never… never… nevermore… [Chorus – Large memorable phrase, abyssal growls + layered screams] NEVERMORE! THE RAVEN SCREAMS MY DOOM! NEVERMORE! ENTOMBED IN ENDLESS GLOOM! NEVERMORE! NO LIGHT SHALL ENTER HERE! NEVERMORE! ETERNAL GRIEF AND FEAR! [Verse 2 – Short violent imagery] Lenore is gone, her name a dying echo The bird perches still on Pallas, cold and black as stone It mocks my prayers, it laughs at every plea Condemns my soul to perpetual misery [Pre-Chorus] Never… never… nevermore… Never… never… nevermore… [Chorus] NEVERMORE! THE RAVEN SCREAMS MY DOOM! NEVERMORE! ENTOMBED IN ENDLESS GLOOM! NEVERMORE! NO LIGHT SHALL ENTER HERE! NEVERMORE! ETERNAL GRIEF AND FEAR! [Instrumental Break – 18-22s] (Dissonant tremolo guitar leads over blast beats with monastic chanting layered underneath + crushing bass drops + raven cries and tapping percussion) [Breakdown – Slower crushing line, abyssal growls] Once upon a midnight… dreary… I shall be… forever… weary… Nevermore… [Final Chorus – Escalation with tormented layered screams + monastic chanting] NEVERMORE! THE RAVEN CLAIMS MY SOUL! NEVERMORE! THE VOID HAS SWALLOWED WHOLE! NEVERMORE! NO HOPE, NO LIGHT, NO REST! NEVERMORE! ETERNAL DARKNESS IS MY NEST! [Final Instrumental Outro] (Slow crushing riff with fading monastic chanting, raven cries, tapping sounds, and tormented layered screams dissolving into silence) [Outro – Deep abyssal whisper] Nevermore… Nevermore… Quoth the Raven… Nevermore.
