Released October 20, 2025
A haunting Halloween special single, adapting Edgar Alan Poe's 'The Raven'
Lyrics
In this house of ancient stone and timber black The wolves cry out at midnight, but I don’t look back The spirits walk these hallways, rattling their chains The Devil knocks politely, but he never stays
(I’m not afraid…)
But there’s a crow outside my window, getting closer every night First the garden, then the roof, now it’s blocking out the light Its eyes are black as nothing, its feathers sharp as knives And I swear it’s watching, waiting, counting down my life
Tap tap tap on the glass Caw caw caw, it will not pass
The crow in my room The crow in my head It knows all my secrets It wants me dead
The crow in my room Won’t let me sleep Getting closer, closer While I’m in too deep
It’s here…
I’ve locked every window, I’ve sealed every door But I hear its talons scraping on the wooden floor The shadows move like feathers across my bedroom wall I tell myself I’m dreaming, but I hear its call
It’s getting closer…
Ghosts I understand, demons I can name But this creature’s got a purpose that I can’t explain It tilts its head and studies me with ancient knowing eyes Like it’s reading every sin I’ve tried to hide
Tap tap tap on the glass Caw caw caw, moving fast
The crow in my room The crow in my head It knows all my secrets It wants me dead
The crow in my room Won’t let me sleep Getting closer, closer While I’m in too deep
“The crow sees, the crow knows” “In the darkness, the shadow grows” “Feather black and beak of bone” “You will never be alone” “The crow sees, the crow knows” “The crow sees, the crow knows” “It’s in the walls, it’s in the air” “The crow is everywhere, everywhere”
Now it’s perched upon my bedpost, staring while I shake Every blink feels like forever, I’m afraid I’ll break The wolves could tear me limb from limb, I wouldn’t even care But this crow knows something darker, something waiting there
THE CROW IN MY ROOM! THE CROW IN MY HEAD! It knows all my secrets! It wants me dead!
THE CROW IN MY ROOM! THE CROW IN MY ROOM! Getting closer, closer! It’s here, it’s here, IT’S HERE!
The crow in my room… The crow…
