Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Once upon a starless winter I was watching embers fall Every echo in the hallway Spoke your name along the wall There your picture on the mantle Candle clawing through the gloom Every shadow bent and whispered “Will she ever leave this room?” [Pre-Chorus] I pressed my pulse against the silence Felt it push my faith aside Somewhere deep behind the darkness Something opened Stepped inside [Chorus] “Nevermore Nevermore” Cried the raven at my door Tearing through the threads that tied me To the life I had before “Nevermore Nevermore” Every feather Every word Like a verdict Like a branding In the marrow of my world [Verse 2] On the bust above the doorway There it settled Cold and still Black as ink across a death note Darker yet than any will “How?” I asked it. “How to wake her? How to burn this grief away?” But its eyes were empty altars Where my questions went astray [Pre-Chorus] So I fed it vows and poems Every promise Every lie Still it answered every pleading With that single Shrunken cry [Chorus] “Nevermore Nevermore” Cried the raven at my door Every syllable a dagger Every echo like a war “Nevermore Nevermore” As my hope was dragged outside Through the snow and through the silence Where the living dare not ride [Bridge] [Violin and acoustic guitar enter Storm building beneath] Shall I follow where you’re sleeping? Shall I drown inside your name? Is this love or only hunger For a fire For a flame? (yeah) In the cage of my remembering Feathers fall like shards of glass I am tied to every moment You were here And then you passed [Chorus] “Nevermore Nevermore” Cried the raven at my door (at my door) “Let her rest beneath the thunder Let her sail from off this shore” “Nevermore Nevermore” Still I clutch what I adore Yet the beating wings above me Drive me out to live once more [Outro] [Tempo drops Violin and choir swell] So I rise Though broken-hearted Leave your key upon the floor In the rafters Wings are waiting Softly breathing that dark lore On the bust above the doorway It will watch me cross the floor And its eyes will burn like cinders As it murmurs “Nevermore”
