• The sky is red
    Beneath my bed
    And no one dares to venture

    Another world
    Is soon unfurled
    But no one likes adventure

    My secret spot
    Where I'm never caught
    My own euphoric haven

    I go in there
    Because I'm scared
    Of that darn old pesky raven

    My wife is gone
    My lovely swan
    And now my torment ensue

    He squawks and screams
    Inside my dreams
    And in my real life too

    "Nevermore"
    Like an echoed roar
    I asked him please to leave

    "Nevermore!"
    I shall soon be hoar
    I beg him on my knees

    Quoth again
    Inside my brain
    It echoes loud and clear

    He'll never leave
    I'm ill relieved
    And shrouded deep in fear
