Written for the SpinTunes contest challenge: "Write a song based on a scene from a book or movie."
This song is inspired by the 1963 movie The Raven, written by Richard Matheson and directed by Roger Corman. It's all immensely far removed from Edgar Allan Poe by this point. "Crow" fit my meter better than "raven," but Wikipedia says, "There is no consistent distinction between 'crows' and 'ravens'..." anyway, so I figured I could get away with it. (And it wouldn't be a bigger liberty than Matheson took with the original Poe...)
I had been keen to work in the line, "You mean, he only used his hands?!" but I couldn't figure out any way to say it that didn't sound like I was talking about something completely other than what I meant.
Instead, I was aiming more toward the mood I get from these lines: "Instead of facing life, I turned my back on it. I know now why my father resisted Scarabus; because he knew that one cannot fight evil by hiding from it. Men like Scarabus thrive on the apathy of others; he thrived on mine, and that offends me. By avoiding contact with the brotherhood, I've given him freedom to commit his atrocities unopposed."

written by Thomas Burnett Swann
narrated by Timothy Patrick Hinkle
In the time of the Etruscans, the half-forgotten civilization that preceded
Rome, centaurs, fauns, and other manlike races still existed alongside humanity. Between mankind
and the Weir Ones was constant fear and distrust. When the arrogant nobleman Lars Velcha enslaved
one of these creatures, the fear and distrust turned into open warfare.
The Weirwoods is an
unforgettable novel of mystery and magic at the dawn of history, by the
celebrated author of Lady of the Bees and The Green Phoenix.
Released 21 November 2012.
