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
