Fell into a blizzard and it covered me with ice
I try to reach the surface but I slide
And not for just a second and not for just a night
Not for just a lifetime, but yet for all time

Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep

Maybe I am silly
You see it in my eyes
Drinking from the gutter to survive
Judge me in my sorrow, and judge me in my pride
Baby, show me mercy, one last time

Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep

A poet with his pencil and a mother with her son
A priest without religion, and now I'm done

Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep
