The Raven Lyrics


On a dark and dreary night he awoke to such a fright

Rapping on his chamber door could it be his sweet Lenore

As he left his chair to ask there was a tapping on his glass

As he opened up his haven in stepped the ghastly raven

As I sit here screaming tell me truly I implore

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore

Prophet thing of evil take thy form from off my door

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore

Sat in front of his door questioning the bird of yore

But no respite would he get oh Lenore he can’t forget

His soul laden with sorrow eagerly he wished the morrow

Despair for one he holds dear evermore nameless here

As I sit here screaming tell me truly I implore

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore

Prophet thing of evil take thy form from off my door

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore

Lenore I am waiting to find you in the Aidenn

Our souls are reunited you are the one I adore

The words he hath spoken have left my soul broken

To hold her on the night's shore the one whom angels named Lenore

Nevermore

As I sit here screaming tell me truly I implore

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore

Prophet thing of evil take thy form from off my door

When my soul’s departed shall it clasp my sweet Lenore?

Nevermore
