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
