[Verse 1]
F#m E D Esus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
F#m E C#m D
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
F#m E/G# A D F#m
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
D E
To a different world
F#m E D Esus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
F#m E C#m D
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
F#m E/G# A D F#m
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
D E
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm C#m
Cold is the wind
F#m E
Bringing forth clarity
Bm C#m
Time rushing on
F#m
And nothing will remain
Bm C#m D E
There's no glory on the last journey
F#m E/G# A D F#m E
Hooooooo, hooooome
F#m E A D F#m E
Hooooooo, hooooome
F#m E/G# A D F#m E
Hooooooo, hooooome
F#m E A D F#m E
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Em D Em D
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Em D Em D
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
C Bm
All the noise and decree
Em D Em D
And the craze in empty eyes
Em D Em D
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Em D Em
F# dream of love, I've got to suffocate
D C
While I keep on waiting
Bm Em D
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Em D Em D Em
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Em
The sky is crawling down the mound
B5 C5 B5 C5 B5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
C Bm
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Am
To mingle with the skies
D
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
F#m E/G# A E
F# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Bm
Gonna run and never get away
D F#m C#m D
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
Bm E C#m D
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? F# lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]
Em D Em D
Oh raven child
Em D Em C Bm
Raven child
[Verse 2]
Em D/E
Bewildering and strange
Em D/E
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Em D/E
Sweet scent of rain
Em D/E C
They're calling you astounding how it is
Bm
Not the same it used to be
Em D/E Em D/E
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Em D/E
The tolling of the bell
Em D/E
Is there anyone to tell me
Em D/E
What they wanna say?
Em D/E C
Voices go on and on and on to me
Bm
But their tongues won't permeate
Em D/E Em
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C Em
In your altered state of mind
B5 C5 B5 C5 B5
In vain you're chasing light
C Bm
Your master in his frown
Am
Denial of the crown of creation
D
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
F#m E/G# A E
F# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Bm
Gonna run and never get away
D F#m C#m D
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
F#m E/G# A E
F# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Bm
Gonna run and never get away
D F#m C#m D
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

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

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

Feel the dark rolling in your way (Hey raven child)

Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you

Uncloak the raven master

[Outro]
F#m D
You tuck away yourself inside
A E
You ride away on the inmost light
F#m D A
Your soul glowing opal-blue
F#m E
F# million voices fade away
F#m D
I never really got what they're trying to say
F#m D A/C# E
For my words there's no getting through
F#m D
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
A E F#m
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
D A
And like a raven child
F#m E
You spread your paltry wings and throw
A D F#m
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
D A/C# E
That despised the raven child
F#m D
F#m I awake or is it an evil dream
A E
Or maybe the ugly in between
F#m D A
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
F#m E A
F# broken soul in unimpaired parts
D F#m
In quest for light but it was the dark
D A/C# E
That embraced the raven child
F#m D
F# cloak of invisibility
A E
To curtain the face of deformity
F#m D A
No, darkness let me in
F#m E
Off to the night's plutonian shores
A D F#m
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
D A/C# E
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
A D A/C# E
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
F#m E F#m
Oh, to escape from all below
A Bm F#m
Spread your wings and go
E F#m A5 G#5 E5 F#m
Like a raven child
