Alone I sat a night to ponder, in my chambers going yonder.
Alas! I pondered all is dreary, like the weeping reaper weary,
like the ancient lore spoke unto me evermore,
Quoth a line, a verse from vital flame -
'A life soon live, to live a dream; a secret to life, so it may seem.
It is but that and nothing more, quoth the verse, the forgotten lore.
And so shall come the lives of some, alas! Mine shall be the dreadful: nevermore!
Alas! Mine shall be divine, echoes of sorrow reached across time for evermore.
It is but that and nothing more, quoth the verse, the forgotten lore.
Suddenly I came to remember the dawn of morning ember,
on a cold, cold November morn,
I rose from my chambers locked in shackles;
the feelings of betrayal, thoughts of hackles kept me sane.
I laughed and jest as I laid to rest;
betrayed as the world could see.
I know of no reason why I darkened my season,
but it be sanctimonious, felonious my erroneous alone;
but I beseeched my demons, my own.
For melancholy is my one desire, cast out into a pit of fire.
To die and be reborn again and again,
only to find myself dreaming of every sin.
But still I long for that forgotten lore;
a spoken truth now lies.
I pondered all the lore's of some, not knowing when the Dawn will come.
And so shall come the lives of some, alas! Mine shall be the dreadful: nevermore!
