I walked alone
by an old darken throne ;
it had given me a fright
just of its sight,

I held on tight because I
know I am going for a ride
of some other kind
it will blow one's mind,

my own tantalized soul
made no joke to what I hold
I stand so bold
to the man getting close,

He is dressed in all black suit
at first, I thought I was seeing
Edgar Allan Poe walking around
wearing a big old long hat on his head.

But when he stood so near
I had gone to sleep
into a very bad dream
ravens were flying around
looking for the lost and found,

Pains started coming my way
in a cloud of darkness
deep within my soul
my body started turning cold,

I walked alone
to an old darken throne
now became my home.
