Quoth the Raven

I am the mystery

And I am the bringer of moonless night

Bear the wisdom arcane

I, harbinger from the burrowed isle

Once you bring forth

Hearken the flap of my wings

Haunt your fears, though you don't know of my duty to lead

Your path because I'll take

You down to rest in my black wings

Enfolding you (ENFOLDING YOU)

I am the icon sublime

The guide of the voyage clandestine

I sing the verses bewailed

I, torch of the radiant way

Once you step out

Hearken the strokes of my wings

Once you leave your cocoon

I will be there

Haunt your fears, though you don't know of my duty to lead

Your path because I'll take

You down to rest in my black wings

Enfolding you (ENFOLDING YOU)

And death will smile his barefaced smile

Initiating your final anguish

It is not before my arrival

That you will be led to feel the natural serenity of leaving this world

Hear my wings caressing the wind

Hear my CRY

Haunt your fears, though you don't know of my duty to lead

Your path because I'll take

You down to rest in my black wings

Enfolding you (ENFOLDING YOU)
