Once upon a midnight dreary
On my path bleak and teary
I am a castaway in the sea of tears
Forever searching the island of hope
Only the stars as my guide
Hoping that they bring me to the horizon
But they always lead astray, and I will drown on my way
I darken the sky
Paint the midnight with clouds
And embrace the dark
Before the stars will align
Forever lost in the gardens of pain
Midst the flowers of sorrow and grief
Constellations reflecting from the pond of dreams
I've waited for all the days
But like a moth to the flame, I end up in death's embrace
I darken the sky
Paint the midnight with clouds
And embrace the dark
Before the stars will align
I am lost here forevermore
As shadows dance about
And there are no stars to track
No stars above
No stars above
I may never see the summer again
Feel the young love's hair on my face
Gently blowing wind on our stride
Only darkness and solitude
Midnight with clouds
Embrace the dark
I still hope there's an angel
Who helps the lost find their way
