No Such Light

From my Raven Collection

No Such Light

 
Raven came, he came a tapping
like a thousand times before
I do not want to see him rapping
death has come to door once more
 
I beg to differ, I shan't glance
you see my raven, doesn't dance 
tapping rapping full of somber
I shan't glance, my life no longer
 
black as space I cannot see 
there is no angel here with me 
Raven came he came a tapping
tapping on my prison door 
 
as if I called him here to me
death is here, it’s here to see
ring the bells, it's time to ponder
life and death and all its wander
 
Raven now inside my head 
black is night it's time for bed
I won't sleep within sweet slumber
I won't close my eyes this night
 
open mind free to wonder
why my life has no such light.
