Once upon a midnight dreary

While I pondered weak and weary

Lost my wife named Leonore

An angel now for evermore

Thunder, lighting crushed the sky

A raven stood before my eye

Flew into the chambers door

When such name as Nevermore



[Chorus:]

Raise your face to the midnight sun

Don't touch the angel, don't hide and run

Look into the eye of this evil toy

Fly with the raven seek and destroy



Caught from some unhappy master

An unmerciful disaster

The raven fades away my sadness

Made me smile but made me restless

Prophet said I, thing of evil

Haunted horror, priest of devil

Let me stay there with my pain

Demonic sorrow crawls through my veins



[Chorus:]

Raise your face to the midnight sun

Don't touch the angel, don't hide and run

Look into the eye of this evil toy

Fly with the raven seek and destroy
