A Recurring Dream Within a Deam Lyrics
"For my own part, I have never had a thought,
"Which I could not set down in words
"With even more distinctness
"Than that which I concieved it"
"In words"
"In words"
"In words"
The clock struck midight
and through my sleeping,
I heard a tapping at my door (nevermore)
I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazment,
there stood a raven
whose shadow hung above my door
And through the silence
it spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
Quoth the raven, Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
(Nevermore)
("In words")
And still the Raven
Remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
nor prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Quoth the Raven, Nevermore
Thus quoth the Raven
Nevermore
"Which I could not set down in words
"With even more distinctness
"Than that which I concieved it"
and through my sleeping,
I heard a tapping at my door (nevermore)
I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
there stood a raven
whose shadow hung above my door
And through the silence
it spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
Remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
nor prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Thus quoth the Raven
Nevermore

A beautiful remix of the Project's first two songs. The new "nevermore" is so creepy, I can see why he wants the bird out of his room.
It essentially means the same as the original, it uses the same lyrics, same baseline and everything, just the repetitive "nevermore"s have been replaced by a deep bone-rattling voice.
