[Verse 1]
I saw him split the rain
A blade of black and bone
Wing-cuts through the ash
And the grave forgot its stone
His eyes were winter fire
His cloak was crow-feather deep
He walked on broken halos
Where the saints could not sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that iron prayer
Coming up the stair
Cold name on the tongue
Blood in the air
[Chorus]
Reaver scythe
Slice the night (slice the night)
Reaver scythe
Take what shines
Arc Angel
Stand in the dark
Reaver scythe
Leave your mark
[Verse 2]
He crossed the red old river
With a crown of stolen sparks
Every door that locked
Split open in the dark
No mercy in his mouth
No hymn to make me whole
Just the weight of judgment
And a furnace for a soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that iron prayer
Coming up the stair
Cold name on the tongue
Blood in the air
[Chorus]
Reaver scythe
Slice the night (slice the night)
Reaver scythe
Take what shines
Arc Angel
Stand in the dark
Reaver scythe
Leave your mark
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
I bowed before the ember
I laughed into the chain
If death wears holy feathers
Then I will call your name
Come down
Come down
Cut clean through my fear
One stroke
One oath
The end is here
[Breakdown]
Reaver
Reaver
Scy-the!
Black wing
Bright blade
Night divide!
[Final Chorus]
Reaver scythe
Slice the night (slice the night)
Reaver scythe
Take what shines
Arc Angel
Stand in the dark
Reaver scythe
Leave your mark
Reaver scythe
Slice the night (slice the night)
Reaver scythe
Take what shines
Arc Angel
Stand in the dark
Reaver scythe
Leave your mark
