The Raven

Distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
Each separate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Filled me with fantastic terrors that I never felt before;
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir,” said I “or Madam, your forgiveness I implore.”
That I was scarce I heard you, but what more could I do
I opened wide the door there was darkness and nothing more.
Chorus
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Open here I flung the shutter, when with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door.
Perched. And sat, and nothing more.
"Though thy crest be shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Chorus
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! Prophet still, if bird or devil!
Whether Tempter sent, or tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aiden.
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Chorus
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
Nevermore, quoth the Raven nevermore
(Narration)
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted―nevermore!

Nowhere Left To Hide
Verse 1
Here I go now, down that road again
Looking for some way to ease the pain
Now, on my own, facing the dark side
My former self, was my only pride
Chorus
Wasting precious time I close my eyes
Accepting of my fate I've nowhere left to hide
Wasting precious time I close my eyes
Accepting of my fate I've nowhere left to hide
Verse 2
I cannot see, cannot see the light
Out on my own, trapped in endless night
The long shadow of fear in my mind
What is out there? Now I have to find
Chorus
Verse 3
Now, here I am, sat here in ruins
It equals nothing, my only sin
Will I escape, with my sanity?
I cannot know, I cannot be free
Chorus

My Former Self

V.1
My head is spinning like a yo-yo on a string.
I listen hard but still I can't feel a thing.
You need to tell me in a way I'll understand.
Reveal the truth to me, obey my one command.
Ch.
Lost within a shell of the man that I once was
I can't tell if my former self is lost or just forgotten
If I ever find it once again will it make a difference to the way I live my life
For now and evermore?
V.2
Seclusion now consumes me I'm feeling so alone.
The emptiness that holds me, weighs me, down just like a stone.
I'm confused and don't know the way that I should turn.
My sanity is way behind, I've no more fuse to burn.
Ch.
Solo
Ch.
V.3
Threatening thoughts of danger lurk in corners in mind.
Where no-one dare explore 'cause they're afraid of what they'll find.
If they searched for long enough they'll find an evil twist
'Cause there's two of us in here and we're clouded by a mist.
Ch.

In Ruins

Verse 1
Walking along this lonely road
I like the sound of silence all alone
We live in ignorance, no reality
For most of us, the truth’s too hard to see
Time moves on, faster than we know
Longing to live, just moving with the flow
There’s something here, this we cannot see
Something deep inside of us is longing to be free
Chorus
We are In Ruins (I cannot believe)
We are In Ruins (and we can never leave)
Verse 2
We aren’t alone, nothing helps us now
Destiny will surely show us how
In the end there’s no path to eternity
All we have is thousands with nothing to believe
Our time will come and we all know why
All the people staring blindly to the sky
In the end are we soon to see
Who really are your friends, return to reality
Chorus
Verse 3
Lonely thoughts, my mind is in decay
Just to see, time is on its way
Don’t you see it doesn’t have to be this way
This change if only for one day
If only people would try to make things right
We not be ending, we way not have to fight
Don’t wish for death, one day we will see
Be careful what you wish for, it may not set you free
Chorus

I'm sad to see this era of Beastmaker close out but this is a phenomenal way to do! Black Butterfly might be the best thing they've ever done.

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time.
