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

F#m E F#m D C#m
[Verse 2]
F#m E F#m E
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
F#m E F#m E
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
D C#m
All the noise and decree
F#m E F#m E
And the craze in empty eyes
F#m E F#m E
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
F#m E F#m
G# dream of love, I've got to suffocate
E D
While I keep on waiting
C#m F#m E
For the hour I'll be called to realize
F#m E F#m E F#m
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D F#m
The sky is crawling down the mound
C#5 D5 C#5 D5 C#5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
D C#m
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Bm
To mingle with the skies
E
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
G#m F#/A# B F#
G# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
C#m
Gonna run and never get away
E G#m D#m E
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
C#m F# D#m E
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? G# lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]
F#m E F#m E
Oh raven child
F#m E F#m D C#m
Raven child
[Verse 2]
F#m E/F#
Bewildering and strange
F#m E/F#
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
F#m E/F#
Sweet scent of rain
F#m E/F# D
They're calling you astounding how it is
C#m
Not the same it used to be
F#m E/F# F#m E/F#
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
F#m E/F#
The tolling of the bell
F#m E/F#
Is there anyone to tell me
F#m E/F#
What they wanna say?
F#m E/F# D
Voices go on and on and on to me
C#m
But their tongues won't permeate
F#m E/F# F#m
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
D F#m
In your altered state of mind
C#5 D5 C#5 D5 C#5
In vain you're chasing light
D C#m
Your master in his frown
Bm
Denial of the crown of creation
E
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
G#m F#/A# B F#
G# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
C#m
Gonna run and never get away
E G#m D#m E
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
G#m F#/A# B F#
G# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
C#m
Gonna run and never get away
E G#m D#m E
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
C#m F# D#m E
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? G# lonely heart in an endless line

[Verse 3]
A#m G# F# G#
Light breeze in the crowns of the willows
A#m G# Fm F#
Green fields as if the day was on the wane
D#m C# G# A#m
Grow faint and attain to perfection
D#m C# B
What a backdrop for a diamond
A#m G# F# G#
And so we sway in the wind like the willow
A#m G# Fm F#
Meant to give way to the order of the storm
D#m C# G# A#m
Won't leave a mould in the marsh of the ages
D#m C# B
G# tired chevalier of fortune
A#m G# F# G#
Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic
A#m G# Fm F#
The unborn in the stream of destiny
D#m C# G# A#m
Time flows to become a mound of nothing
D#m C# B
For a broken soldier of fortune
[Bridge]
D#m
On my
D#m
Comin' down, goin' all the way now, You won't get away You know
D#m
Finally the way you're shown You're goin' now Comin' down (x8)
B C#
D#m
Into the light
C#
In the light there's a crack torn open
B C#
From underneath the day
D#m C#
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
B C#
Feel the dark rolling in, your way
D#m C#
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
B C#
Ignite your spirits fly
G#m
See a light to uncloak their master
A#m C#
To arouse the beaten mind
G#m F#
In the light there's a crack torn open
E F#
From underneath the day (You dream and fly)
G#m F#
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
E F#
Feel the dark rolling in your way (Hey raven child)
G#m F#
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
E F#
Ignite your spirits fly
C#m
Uncloak the raven master
D#
To arouse the beaten mind
[Interlude 3]

Yeah
[Outro]
G#m E
You tuck away yourself inside
B F#
You ride away on the inmost light
G#m E B
Your soul glowing opal-blue
G#m F#
G# million voices fade away
G#m E
I never really got what they're trying to say
G#m E B/D# F#
For my words there's no getting through
G#m E
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
B F# G#m
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
E B
And like a raven child
G#m F#
You spread your paltry wings and throw
B E G#m
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
E B/D# F#
That despised the raven child
G#m E
G#m I awake or is it an evil dream
B F#
Or maybe the ugly in between
G#m E B
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
G#m F# B
G# broken soul in unimpaired parts
E G#m
In quest for light but it was the dark
E B/D# F#
That embraced the raven child
G#m E
G# cloak of invisibility
B F#
To curtain the face of deformity
G#m E B
No, darkness let me in
G#m F#
Off to the night's plutonian shores
B E G#m
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
E B/D# F#
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
B E B/D# F#
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
G#m F# G#m
Oh, to escape from all below
B C#m G#m
Spread your wings and go
F# G#m B5 A#5 F#5 G#m
Like a raven child
