[Verse 1]
Bm A G Asus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
Bm A F#m G
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
Bm A/C# D G Bm
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
G A
To a different world
Bm A G Asus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
Bm A F#m G
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
Bm A/C# D G Bm
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
G A
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em F#m
Cold is the wind
Bm A
Bringing forth clarity
Em F#m
Time rushing on
Bm
And nothing will remain
Em F#m G A
There's no glory on the last journey
Bm A/C# D G Bm A
Hooooooo, hooooome
Bm A D G Bm A
Hooooooo, hooooome
Bm A/C# D G Bm A
Hooooooo, hooooome
Bm A D G Bm A
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Am G Am G
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Am G Am G
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
F Em
All the noise and decree
Am G Am G
And the craze in empty eyes
Am G Am G
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Am G Am
B dream of love, I've got to suffocate
G F
While I keep on waiting
Em Am G
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Am G Am G Am
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F Am
The sky is crawling down the mound
E5 F5 E5 F5 E5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
F Em
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Dm
To mingle with the skies
G
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Bm A/C# D A
B fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Em
Gonna run and never get away
G Bm F#m G
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
Em A F#m G
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? B lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]
Am G Am G
Oh raven child
Am G Am F Em
Raven child
[Verse 2]
Am G/A
Bewildering and strange
Am G/A
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Am G/A
Sweet scent of rain
Am G/A F
They're calling you astounding how it is
Em
Not the same it used to be
Am G/A Am G/A
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Am G/A
The tolling of the bell
Am G/A
Is there anyone to tell me
Am G/A
What they wanna say?
Am G/A F
Voices go on and on and on to me
Em
But their tongues won't permeate
Am G/A Am
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F Am
In your altered state of mind
E5 F5 E5 F5 E5
In vain you're chasing light
F Em
Your master in his frown
Dm
Denial of the crown of creation
G
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
Bm A/C# D A
B fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

Gonna run and never get away
G Bm F#m G
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

B fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Em
Gonna run and never get away
G Bm F#m G
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? B lonely heart in an endless line

[Verse 3]
C#m B A B
Light breeze in the crowns of the willows
C#m B G#m A
Green fields as if the day was on the wane
F#m E B C#m
Grow faint and attain to perfection
F#m E D
What a backdrop for a diamond
C#m B A B
And so we sway in the wind like the willow
C#m B G#m A
Meant to give way to the order of the storm
F#m E B C#m
Won't leave a mould in the marsh of the ages
F#m E D
B tired chevalier of fortune
C#m B A B
Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic
C#m B G#m A
The unborn in the stream of destiny
F#m E B C#m
Time flows to become a mound of nothing
F#m E D
For a broken soldier of fortune
[Bridge]
F#m

D E
F#m
Into the light
E
In the light there's a crack torn open
D E
From underneath the day
F#m E
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
D E
Feel the dark rolling in, your way
F#m E
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
D E
Ignite your spirits fly
Bm
See a light to uncloak their master
C#m E
To arouse the beaten mind
Bm A
In the light there's a crack torn open
G A
From underneath the day (You dream and fly)
Bm A
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?

[Outro]
Bm G
You tuck away yourself inside
D A
You ride away on the inmost light
Bm G D
Your soul glowing opal-blue
Bm A
B million voices fade away
Bm G
I never really got what they're trying to say
Bm G D/F# A
For my words there's no getting through
Bm G
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
D A Bm
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
G D
And like a raven child
Bm A
You spread your paltry wings and throw
D G Bm
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
G D/F# A
That despised the raven child
Bm G
Bm I awake or is it an evil dream
D A
Or maybe the ugly in between
Bm G D
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
Bm A D
B broken soul in unimpaired parts
G Bm
In quest for light but it was the dark
G D/F# A
That embraced the raven child
Bm G
B cloak of invisibility
D A
To curtain the face of deformity
Bm G D
No, darkness let me in
Bm A
Off to the night's plutonian shores
D G Bm
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
G D/F# A
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
D G D/F# A
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
Bm A Bm
Oh, to escape from all below
D Em Bm
Spread your wings and go
A Bm D5 C#5 A5 Bm
Like a raven child
