[Verse 1] Midnight shadows on the wallpaper crawl Lonely candle burning low against the wall Books of forgotten wisdom scattered on the floor While I searched for peace of mind I'd lost before Winter winds were crying through the broken pane Every memory of my lost love brought me pain Then a tapping softly echoed at my chamber door A sound I'd never heard before [Pre-Chorus] I whispered, "Who's there?" to the dark unknown But fate was flying toward me all alone [Chorus] Nevermore, nevermore That's the word that haunts me to my core Black wings beating through my soul Like a ghost I can't control Nevermore, nevermore Every answer leaves me wanting more In the silence of the night That raven stole the light Saying nevermore [Verse 2] Through the window came a shadow dark and grand Perched upon a bust above where I would stand Eyes like ancient storms that knew what lay in store As it watched me from the door I asked if I'd find comfort somewhere down the road If these chains of grief would ever lose their hold Would I see my Lenore in Heaven's golden shore? The raven answered, "Nevermore." [Pre-Chorus] The room grew colder than a winter grave And every hope I had it came to take away [Chorus] Nevermore, nevermore That's the word that haunts me to my core Black wings beating through my soul Like a ghost I can't control Nevermore, nevermore Every answer leaves me wanting more In the silence of the night That raven stole the light Saying nevermore [Bridge] Now the clock keeps ticking but the years stand still And the shadow of that bird remains against my will Every dream of love and every prayer I send Meets that haunting word again The darkness wears a thousand feathered eyes And sorrow never truly dies [Final Chorus] Nevermore, nevermore Still I hear it like I heard before Through the thunder and the rain Through the heartache and the pain Nevermore, nevermore Echoing forever from that door While the moonlight fades away Its shadow's here to stay Saying nevermore [Outro] Midnight's calling from the distant shore And the raven whispers... "Nevermore."
