[Verse 1]
Gm F D# Fsus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
Gm F Dm D#
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
Gm F/A A# D# Gm
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
D# F
To a different world
Gm F D# Fsus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
Gm F Dm D#
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
Gm F/A A# D# Gm
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
D# F
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm Dm
Cold is the wind
Gm F
Bringing forth clarity
Cm Dm
Time rushing on
Gm
And nothing will remain
Cm Dm D# F
There's no glory on the last journey
Gm F/A A# D# Gm F
Hooooooo, hooooome
Gm F A# D# Gm F
Hooooooo, hooooome
Gm F/A A# D# Gm F
Hooooooo, hooooome
Gm F A# D# Gm F
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Fm D# Fm D#
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Fm D# Fm D#
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
Db Cm
All the noise and decree
Fm D# Fm D#
And the craze in empty eyes
Fm D# Fm D#
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Fm D# Fm
G dream of love, I've got to suffocate
D# Db
While I keep on waiting
Cm Fm D#
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Fm D# Fm D# Fm
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]

The sky is crawling down the mound

Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
Db Cm
Spectres flare and spit and rise
A#m
To mingle with the skies
D#
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Gm F/A A# F
G fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Cm
Gonna run and never get away

Raven child
[Verse 2]
Fm D#/F
Bewildering and strange
Fm D#/F
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Fm D#/F
Sweet scent of rain
Fm D#/F Db
They're calling you astounding how it is
Cm
Not the same it used to be
Fm D#/F Fm D#/F
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Fm D#/F
The tolling of the bell
Fm D#/F
Is there anyone to tell me
Fm D#/F
What they wanna say?
Fm D#/F Db
Voices go on and on and on to me
Cm
But their tongues won't permeate
Fm D#/F Fm
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Db Fm
In your altered state of mind
C5 Db5 C5 Db5 C5
In vain you're chasing light

Your master in his frown

Denial of the crown of creation

You're made to think you are

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

Into the light

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

Ignite your spirits fly

See a light to uncloak their master
Am C
To arouse the beaten mind

In the light there's a crack torn open

From underneath the day (You dream and fly)

You tuck away yourself inside

You ride away on the inmost light
Gm D# A#
Your soul glowing opal-blue
Gm F
G million voices fade away
Gm D#
I never really got what they're trying to say
Gm D# A#/D F
For my words there's no getting through
Gm D#
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
A# F Gm
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
D# A#
And like a raven child
Gm F
You spread your paltry wings and throw
A# D# Gm
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
D# A#/D F
That despised the raven child
Gm D#
Gm I awake or is it an evil dream
A# F
Or maybe the ugly in between
Gm D# A#
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
Gm F A#
G broken soul in unimpaired parts
D# Gm
In quest for light but it was the dark
D# A#/D F
That embraced the raven child
Gm D#
G cloak of invisibility
A# F
To curtain the face of deformity
Gm D# A#
No, darkness let me in
Gm F
Off to the night's plutonian shores
A# D# Gm
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
D# A#/D F
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
A# D# A#/D F
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
Gm F Gm
Oh, to escape from all below
A# Cm Gm
Spread your wings and go
F Gm A#5 A5 F5 Gm
Like a raven child
