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
 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 [bad word] 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
