[Verse 1]
A#m G# F# G#sus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
A#m G# Fm F#
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
A#m G#/C C# F# A#m
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
F# G#
To a different world
A#m G# F# G#sus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
A#m G# Fm F#
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
A#m G#/C C# F# A#m
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
F# G#
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D#m Fm
Cold is the wind
A#m G#
Bringing forth clarity
D#m Fm
Time rushing on
A#m
And nothing will remain
D#m Fm F# G#
There's no glory on the last journey
A#m G#/C C# F# A#m G#
Hooooooo, hooooome
A#m G# C# F# A#m G#
Hooooooo, hooooome
A#m G#/C C# F# A#m G#
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
G#m F# G#m F#
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
G#m F# G#m F#
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
Fb D#m
All the noise and decree
G#m F# G#m F#
And the craze in empty eyes
G#m F# G#m F#
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
G#m F# G#m
A# dream of love, I've got to suffocate
F# Fb
While I keep on waiting
D#m G#m F#
For the hour I'll be called to realize
G#m F# G#m F# G#m
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fb G#m
The sky is crawling down the mound
D#5 Fb5 D#5 Fb5 D#5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
Fb D#m
Spectres flare and spit and rise
C#m
To mingle with the skies
F#
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
A#m G#/C C# G#
A# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
D#m
Gonna run and never get away
F# A#m Fm F#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
D#m G# Fm F#
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? A# lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]

Oh raven child
G#m F# G#m Fb D#m
Raven child
[Verse 2]
G#m F#/G#
Bewildering and strange
G#m F#/G#
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
G#m F#/G#
Sweet scent of rain
G#m F#/G# Fb
They're calling you astounding how it is
D#m
Not the same it used to be
G#m F#/G# G#m F#/G#
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
G#m F#/G#
The tolling of the bell
G#m F#/G#
Is there anyone to tell me
G#m F#/G#
What they wanna say?
G#m F#/G# Fb
Voices go on and on and on to me
D#m
But their tongues won't permeate
G#m F#/G# G#m
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Fb G#m
In your altered state of mind
D#5 Fb5 D#5 Fb5 D#5
In vain you're chasing light
Fb D#m
Your master in his frown
C#m
Denial of the crown of creation
F#
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
A#m G#/C C# G#
A# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
D#m
Gonna run and never get away
F# A#m Fm F#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
A#m G#/C C# G#
A# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
D#m
Gonna run and never get away
F# A#m Fm F#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
D#m G# Fm F#
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? A# lonely heart in an endless line

Light breeze in the crowns of the willows
Cm A# Gm G#
Green fields as if the day was on the wane
Fm D# A# Cm
Grow faint and attain to perfection
Fm D# C#
What a backdrop for a diamond
Cm A# G# A#
And so we sway in the wind like the willow
Cm A# Gm G#
Meant to give way to the order of the storm
Fm D# A# Cm
Won't leave a mould in the marsh of the ages
Fm D# C#
A# tired chevalier of fortune
Cm A# G# A#
Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic

The unborn in the stream of destiny

Time flows to become a mound of nothing
Fm D# C#
For a broken soldier of fortune

Into the light

In the light there's a crack torn open
C# D#
From underneath the day
Fm D#
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
C# D#
Feel the dark rolling in, your way
Fm D#
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you

See a light to uncloak their master

To arouse the beaten mind

[Outro]
A#m F#
You tuck away yourself inside
C# G#
You ride away on the inmost light
A#m F# C#
Your soul glowing opal-blue
A#m G#
A# million voices fade away
A#m F#
I never really got what they're trying to say
A#m F# C#/F G#
For my words there's no getting through
A#m F#
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
C# G# A#m
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
F# C#
And like a raven child
A#m G#
You spread your paltry wings and throw
C# F# A#m
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
F# C#/F G#
That despised the raven child
A#m F#
A#m I awake or is it an evil dream
C# G#
Or maybe the ugly in between
A#m F# C#
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
A#m G# C#
A# broken soul in unimpaired parts
F# A#m
In quest for light but it was the dark
F# C#/F G#
That embraced the raven child
A#m F#
A# cloak of invisibility
C# G#
To curtain the face of deformity
A#m F# C#
No, darkness let me in
A#m G#
Off to the night's plutonian shores
C# F# A#m
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
F# C#/F G#
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
C# F# C#/F G#
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
A#m G# A#m
Oh, to escape from all below
C# D#m A#m
Spread your wings and go
G# A#m C#5 C5 G#5 A#m
Like a raven child
