Quoth the Raven

from Phantasmagoria by Dachshund

lyrics

Ain't no trick
telling how it started
Just a twitch of the heart
An animal
within your blood awakened howling
Hallelujah!

Spot of moon
in the place you're hiding
holds your heart in its tide
Flesh and bone
And hair!
And hunger never-ending!
Mountains move ya!

It's just a question of unfathomable size:
What defines you, anyway?
Down a hall of mirrors you'll go, chasing your disguise
until it suits you.
Fare thee well!

Lost behind you evermore,
Such sweetness, never to restore,
The warning perched upon the door,
(Quoth the raven)
Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!”

Little one,
Ain’t no tale I’m telling.
We are flawed by design.
Twice we’re born,
The sheep is shorn, the wolf is waiting
Howling through ya!

So come stand next to me
And see why my teeth
Are so bright and shiny…

It's just a question of unfathomable size:
What defines you, anyway?
Down a hall of mirrors you'll go, chasing your disguise
until it suits you.
Fare thee well!

Lost behind you evermore,
Such sweetness, never to restore,
The warning perched upon the door,
(Quoth the raven)
Quoth the raven, “Never--”
Here to stay forever!
Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!”
