In the silence of the night, as the world fades away,
I heard a tapping, living in the dark’s sway.
The shadows surrounded me, thoughts so heavy and clear,
A whispering voice said: “You’ll never come here.”
Pre-Chorus
I stood there, confused, with no answer, no light,
The darkness spoke, but I couldn’t hear it right.
“Don’t go further,” the voice called, cold and bare,
Then the raven spoke, “Nevermore,” in despair.
Chorus
“Nevermore,” it whispered, in the night that never ends,
“Nevermore,” in the void that always transcends.
A word that remains, that the time defends,
“Nevermore,” it’s all that’s left in the bends.
Like Poe in his verses, in the dusk of pain,
“Nevermore” – a cry from the heart’s chain.
Verse 2
I followed the call, the one from the shadows deep,
But the answer was always the same, dark and bleak.
The walls crushed me, my sight turned blind,
The raven, it knew where the wind would find.
Pre-Chorus
No escape, no light, no space, no here,
Only silence and echoes that never clear.
The door stayed locked, no way, no sea,
And the raven spoke, “Nevermore” to me.
Chorus
“Nevermore,” it whispered, in the night that never ends,
“Nevermore,” in the void that always transcends.
A word that remains, that the time defends,
“Nevermore,” it’s all that’s left in the bends.
Like Poe in his verses, in the dusk of pain,
“Nevermore” – a cry from the heart’s chain.
Bridge
Maybe there’s no morning, no way, no goal,
Maybe we’re trapped in a game with no soul.
But the raven stays, and it speaks evermore,
“Nevermore,” that’s the only shore.
Poe’s quill, it wrote for the night,
Where thoughts awake in silence and fright.
Chorus
“Nevermore,” it whispered, in the night that never ends,
“Nevermore,” in the void that always transcends.
A word that remains, that the time defends,
“Nevermore,” it’s all that’s left in the bends.
Like Poe in his verses, in the dusk of pain,
“Nevermore” – a cry from the heart’s chain.
Outro
“Nevermore,” it says, as the darkness breaks,
“Nevermore,” in the silence that shakes.
In Poe’s shadow, in the raven’s face,
Only “Nevermore,” the final trace.
Spoken Outro
And the night goes on…
but time… stands still.
In silence… I wander—
against my will.
The raven watches… black as coal…
guarding… the remnants… of my soul.
One word echoes… through evermore—
His shadow fades…
but still…
“Nevermore.”
