{Descent into Madness}
..........................

The inner departed
soul of the dark

Night eternal
the Raven

hark
the call

of
Lenore

Never to
hear her name

Nevermore

Sancta Maria
thine eyes
turn to thee

by thy Lake
of Silence

where I
serenade thee

In my Fairyland
of Imitation

Romance
blooms
this enigma
waiting

to
see

my
Evening Star

A Dream within a Dream
but I did not get far

Now all alone
with the Black Cat

see

Such morbid curiousity
that feline had -

less one eye

Cutting deep
with knife
as that
black cat cried

in
pain

such
agony

Burns through
my brain in the

silence see

Now the devil
in the belfry
tolls the bell

I descend into
the Maelstrom
Descending into hell

Gazing upon
my chamber door

Sighing
so deep
upon the word

NEVERMORE
