The Raven

Part I

Walk on a misty road, sigh
Hear the raven cry.
It comes from the high tree
The scent of love and misery.
You wish to see the raven again
The love, the hope, the only friend.

What would he do
To stay in the velvet night?
What would he give
To be with you once more?
What would you say
To the raven, your only love?

Drift into the dream reality
What will you see
If not the raven?
Think of all he has given,
The raven who sings to you only,
You’ll see he’s given eternity.

What would he do
To stay in the velvet night?
What would he give
To be with you once more?
What would you say
To the raven, your only love?

You hear him call, sigh
Winter so deadly
Takes him away again.
You scream, shout, away you run
Tired you fall to the ground.
You find the raven cold, wounded, dead.

What would he do
To stay in the velvet night?
What would he give
To be with you once more?
What would you say
To the raven, your only love?

Part II

I will come
To you.
Sleep well,
‘Till it is night.
The raven
So black and deadly
With a crimson veil.
The raven
Comes.

So black, so deadly
He rides the crimson heavens.
He was born at dusk,
Died during the night.
Eternity lasts,
The bird so dark.

Raven comes
To you
With a rose
In the beak.
The rose
Calls me, crimson song
The raven dies on the
Glimpse of
Dawn.

So black, so deadly
He rides the crimson heavens.
He was born at dusk,
Died during the night.
Eternity lasts,
The bird so dark.

He will
Return.
Re-enter
Your world.
Sleep does
Call upon you.
The black bird
Sings only
To you.

So black, so deadly
He rides the crimson heavens.
He was born at dusk,
Died during the night.
Eternity lasts,
The bird so dark.

Part III

Sit alone,
Hear him cry
In the woods.
You’ll hear him soon.
The raven calls
Eternity lasts;
The bird so dark.
