Lyrics

[Music by nordavind '91]

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
As of some one, gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door
'Tis some visitor' I muttered, tapping at my chamber door...
Only this and nothing more...

[Fretless bass solo]

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak december
And each seperate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly I wished the morrow... vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow.... sorrow for the lost lenore-..
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore-..
Nameless here for evermore..
