Ravens Ways

[verse]
Ravens ways are in my blood, The gloom of clouds soothes me
Night rests upon me like a hood, I’ll fly where others fear to be


Deep into the heart of darkness, Where like liquid death seeps so deep
It’s not by choice that I must go, I just do what I must to keep (alive)

Cross the abyss 
A lone raven sits upon a tree
No movement, She awaits
So graven yet so carefree

Her memory imprinted in me, 
The stare of her deep glowing eyes
This mystery has long been thee
burned into me like odd delight   
 

[Chorus]
The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion
a de-ja-vu you once knew
I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon 
How can it be so comforting 
Familiar and up lifting?
My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything



[rap]
leafless tree stretches gently
Twisted branches growing westerly
Silhouetted so intensely
conspiracy of ravens stops to rest
My chest fills with exhilaration 
My eyes drink their exaltation 
Beauty is love’s liberation
Lone raven now in their midst
as they take flight, she knows what’s right
into the dim night, no hesitation 
She spreads her wings, oh fearless girl 
So surreal…..
All together they are gone in a whirl


[Chorus]
The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion
a de-ja-vu you once knew
I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon 
How can it be so comforting 
Familiar and up lifting?
My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything

Ravens ways are in my blood
The gloom of clouds soothes me
Night rests upon me like a hood 
I’ll fly where others fear to be

Deep into the heart of darkness
Where like liquid death seeps so deep
It’s not by choice that must I go
I just do what I must to keep (alive)


[Chorus]
The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion
a de-ja-vu you once knew
I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon 
How can it be so comforting 
Familiar and up lifting?
My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything 

[outro]
Oh Raven’s eye guide my thoughts
Through the myriad of cobweb branches
Don’t hesitate a single movement
Or hasten in the journey onwards
