"Though thy crest be shorn and 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."

In Edgar Allen Poe's poem The Raven it is what the raven said that drove the charachter to insanity and dispair. I think that it had a far more purposful meaning being his sadness over the death of his wife. (Lenore)

The few songs I've heard are really well-done, if a bit cheesy. This is what heavy-metal in the 80's should have been. Glam-Rock sucks.
