Shadowed Wings of Midnight

[Verse 1] Beneath the moon's pale silver glow A man sits where the shadows grow Quill in hand His heart does ache For lost Lenore His soul will break [Prechorus] A knock A tap A whisper low The midnight hour begins to show [Chorus] Oh raven Raven Dark and sly Perched above with your piercing eye Nevermore You croak and cry Nevermore As dreams must die [Verse 2] His chamber reeks of time and grief Each breath drawn sharp Each word so brief The bird It mocks It knows the truth No solace lies in faded youth [Prechorus] A word A curse A cruel refrain It echoes loud It spreads the pain [Chorus] Oh raven Raven Dark and sly Perched above with your piercing eye Nevermore You croak and cry Nevermore As dreams must die
