RAVEN

Lyrics by John Pio
Music by Will Kolbert

The raven makes it's slow descent
to pry away our years well spent
the messenger that darkness sent
but mother never sees

Filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved

The eagle stays away the night
and with the bear no longer fights
scorpion tries to flex it's might
and sand rips through our eyes

Filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved

Raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace

We hurl ourselves to the vanishing point
then in the fire we will anoint
a dried out stone we can't exploit
we brought in on ourselves

Filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved

Wretched Raven take to the sky
for centuries we have asked you why
you leave us here on earth to die
eclipse your dimming sun

Filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved

Raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace
