Wrapped among the moon's glow I came to visit the grave of Poe The night was still and smelled of old But nothing like the stories told
I knelt to the grass in form of respect Unaware of what to come or who to expect Just then alas in surprised content A figure stood standing, my eyes did invent
In his hand a bottle, the other a rose And a bird on his shoulder, a raven of prose His eyes, his eyes, my body did froze As I stood face to face with a man called Poe
And he said
Welcome to the Raven's lair Cast your eyes in it's haunted stare Release your mind and thoughts to bare Welcome back to the Raven's lair
Quoth he said " Nevermore." Edgar Allan Poe has unlocked the door Come let's drink and then explore We'll sink in wisdom and mystery lore
Step on through this house of dream See what words are made to be Live a life you've never seen Just relax and have a drink
Sip a wine you call desire Toast to tears and shadows drowned in fire Feel the house rise higher and higher Or is it you being pulled down into the mire
Come with me now, oh morally one See and taste what I have done Hear The Bells sing as they strike the sun Hear them ring softly as they wither to none
In sorrow this tale, remember it's plight For you are the feather, the one who must write I'll leave you now with the coming of light Remember, remember, remember this night
