Long time ago, far and gone
An old man would nap all alone
Lost in a dream of Lenore, evermore
A tapping he heard at the door
Woke him up from the burden he bore
The sound almost seemed like it were...
...was it her
But the light in his eyes showed the ebony
Wings of the dark
And the light in his heart, it was gone like the
Wind k**s a spark
Chorus:
Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the raven his
Unyielding love
Nevermore, nevermore and the old man
Refused to implore
Pondering weary and weak
The old man still lost in his sleep
Cursed on the bird and his lore, from before
Prophet or devil it was
As he saw it, the old man was lost
Wouldn't see his beloved Leonore - nevermore
And the light in his eyes showed the ebony
Wings of the dark
And the light in his heart, it was gone like the
Wind k**s a spark
Chorus 2:
Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the raven his
Unyielding love
Nevermore, nevermore and the old man
Refused to implore
But the dream, it was gone 'cause the echo
Went on through his core
And it teared him apart
As the raven kept still - nevermore
Bridge:
Chorus 2: 2x
Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the raven his
Unyielding love
Nevermore, nevermore and the old man
Refused to implore
But the dream, it was gone 'cause the echo
Went on through his core
And it teared him apart
As the raven kept still - nevermore
