Analysis of Nevermore



Theres a place called Nevermore
 A home to the darkness and monsterous creatures alike
 They watch us as we sleep
 They feed on our fears
 No one can see them
 But there was one who did
 They killed him because he would not stay
 We remember his name and his stories of killers
 Horror in nightmares the dark side of us we thrive
 But if you notice them
 And they notice that you see them
 Then you will be taken from the world
And into the world of nightmarish monsters
  We will forget you
 Spread your ashes and come home they whisper
 Come home to us in this place we call Nevermore
