The Eclipse / The Raven… testo
[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…
