Lyrics Communion for Ravens - Phinehas, Jimmy Ryan

Communion for Ravens

The smell of wine turned
Bread beneath the gallows tree
Ode to the nameless: a hooded child
Communion for Ravens
No hope to lose;
no past to mourn
Born a slave deep in the earth
A famine-stricken cursed womb
Nothing is sacred
The only escape is death
You would torture my family
To litter my tomb
I refuse to live dead any longer
Hooks on the wall over open flame (Silence escape)
Bowing heads into the earth (No hope; no name)
Hooks on the wall over open flame (Silence escape)
Bowing heads into the earth (No hope; no name)
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
The smell of wine turned
Bread beneath the gallows tree
Ode to the nameless: a hooded child
Communion for Ravens
I saw the stone walls fall
Crushing their will to dust
Swept away with the river’s current
But still, I see every face
I refuse to live dead any longer
In blood or in famine
Silence escape
Grow old to die here
No hope;
no name
I refuse to live dead any longer
The smell of wine turned
Bread beneath the gallows tree
Ode to the nameless: a hooded child
Communion for Ravens
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
I refuse to live dead any longer
