Raven Chorus |
| The old raven stands |
| Amid the battle dead |
| He pecks and gouges, pulls and tears |
| And soon stands proud and fed |
| You raven with your dark black sheen |
| You raven with your beak |
| I see the end of my comrades |
| And I choke and I cannot speak |
| She stands body bowed |
| Her tears wet the stone |
| A widow charcoal black |
| Grief cuts to the bone |
| Lifts her head, begs release |
| Raven chorus mocks the peace |
| The raven chorus calls |
| The raven chorus calls |
| Love’s kiss soon turns to bile |
| For love stays but a while |
| Their eyes burn with hate |
| Their voices rise and their hearts break |
| In battles past and to come |
| The soon to die are sung |
| A hymn by the soon to feed |
| Pointless even to me |
| The raven chorus calls |
| The raven chorus calls |
| A tree whose black twisted limbs |
| Seems weighed down by all our sins |
| Makes a fitting seat, a throne |
| As old as looming stones |
| And the modern world won’t mean a thing |
| When mystery’s web starts to spin |
| When above the city’s banal hum |
| Calls the raven and the drum |
| The raven chorus calls |
| The raven chorus calls |
| The raven chorus calls |
| The raven chorus calls |
