Nevermore

Lowly do i sit, the night lay dormant as i muse the thoughts

Of lives passed, and reason with forgotten lore

Remembering within these halls, the curves around your face

Beauty lost; apparition haunting me, dancing in the pale moonlight

Such silence profound in the night

Until a ravens cry shatters repose

In the cold of winter nights, my hands are splintered from the beating

Of my fists upon the bloodied floors

A sanctuary lost within these hallowed halls, such emptiness abound

Such silence deafening to ears, but what's this pounding on my chamber door?

As if striking a hammer to bones

Is this the tone of my taker

As i count the days and nights

Watching shadows pass before my eyes

Years begin to crawl

And i shall hear your voice cry forevermore

And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears

And in halls i shall hear your voice scream forevermore

And as the shadows grow long

Within the light that now fades in the mist

And in halls i shall remain in darkness forevermore

Confined in abysmal time

Showing no signs of release

Detained in horrific eyes

Piercing with a gaze of remorse

But there he rides on the winds of this gloom

And there he howls with an unearthly wail that shakes me

I sit and try to gasp for air, my chest is tight from apprehension

From this beast that dares to perch and mock my woes

Repeating shrieks of nevermore this wretched hound abounds and vexes me

Peering into my soul with hate, like hell fires spawned behind his gates

Is he the one that will take me away

To lay among the worms

As i sit and stare the pounding palpitates the pulse of blood that's frozen

Through my veins like lifeless corpse in rest

This ravens daunting prophecies have sparked a revelation in my mind

That all of this, my purgatory, shall repeat until i'm under stone

And still this creature insists that he crows

His demoniacal sight

As i count the days and nights, watching shadows pass before my eyes

Years begin to crawl

And i shall hear your voice cry forevermore

And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears

And in these halls

I shall hear your voice scream forevermore

Confined in abysmal time

Showing no signs of release

Detained in horrific eyes

Piercing with a gaze of remorse

But there he rides on the winds of this gloom

And there he howls
