Nevermore Lyrics by John G. McDaid

Proverbs of Hell

2019

[Verse 1]
Down the street at midnight
Where the ocean rocks and rolls
Where the mermaids sleep and the lawyers creep
And the bankers sell their souls
Now we slide through silent darkness
Out waiting for the light
As the world decays
While we search for ways
To make it through the night

[Chorus]
Nevermore
Nevermore
Say nevermore
Say nevermore

[Verse 2]
We were waiting for the whistle
We were lying on the tracks
All the lies we’d seen
On the phosphor screen
Well they all came flooding back
Now we could wait for forever
In the horror and the cold
As we learn the feel
Of this deadly steel
And our rights already sold

[Chorus]
Nevermore
Nevermore
Say nevermore
Say nevermore

[Verse 3]
It’s the evanescent future
Unfolding as we stand
In these empty streets
Trapped in self deceit
In a life we never planned
Can we ever catch the phoenix?
Can we find a heart to keep?
As the waves below
Wash the world we know
To the unimagined deep

[Chorus]
Nevermore
Nevermore
Say nevermore
Say nevermore
