letra de the raven - rotting christ

Loading...

[verse 1]
i fall from the holy empire
an angel that losing his path
i am torment with p-ssion and fire
i am torment with pride, greed and l-st

[spoken]
“the raven
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary
over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping”

[verse 2]
i am dreaming flying higher and higher
i am dreaming hope, fear, love and pain
my graceful forbidden desire
they always call, whisper my name

[spoken]
“prophet!” said i, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—
whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ash0r-
desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted
on this home by horror haunted — tell me truly, i implore
is there — is there balm in gilead? — tell me — tell me, i implore!”
quoth the raven “nevermore.”

[instrumental break]

[spoken]
“deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing
doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
“be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!” i shrieked, upstarting
“leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door!
take thy beak from out my heart!”

[guitar solo]

[verse 1]
i fall from the holy empire
an angel that losing his path
i am torment with p-ssion and fire
i am torment with pride, greed and l-st

[spoken]
“and the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
on the pallid bust of pallas just above my chamber door;
and his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming
and the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted — nevermore!”
