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

[Verse 2]
D#m C# D#m C#
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
D#m C# D#m C#
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
Cb A#m
All the noise and decree
D#m C# D#m C#
And the craze in empty eyes
D#m C# D#m C#
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
D#m C# D#m
F dream of love, I've got to suffocate
C# Cb
While I keep on waiting
A#m D#m C#
For the hour I'll be called to realize
D#m C# D#m C# D#m
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cb D#m
The sky is crawling down the mound
A#5 Cb5 A#5 Cb5 A#5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
Cb A#m
Spectres flare and spit and rise
G#m
To mingle with the skies
C#
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G G# D#
F fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
A#m
Gonna run and never get away
C# Fm Cm C#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
A#m D# Cm C#
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? F lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]

Oh raven child
D#m C# D#m Cb A#m
Raven child
[Verse 2]
D#m C#/D#
Bewildering and strange
D#m C#/D#
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
D#m C#/D#
Sweet scent of rain
D#m C#/D# Cb
They're calling you astounding how it is
A#m
Not the same it used to be
D#m C#/D# D#m C#/D#
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
D#m C#/D#
The tolling of the bell
D#m C#/D#
Is there anyone to tell me
D#m C#/D#
What they wanna say?
D#m C#/D# Cb
Voices go on and on and on to me
A#m
But their tongues won't permeate
D#m C#/D# D#m
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Cb D#m
In your altered state of mind
A#5 Cb5 A#5 Cb5 A#5
In vain you're chasing light
Cb A#m
Your master in his frown
G#m
Denial of the crown of creation
C#
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G G# D#
F fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
A#m
Gonna run and never get away
C# Fm Cm C#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

F fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

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

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

Into the light

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

See a light to uncloak their master
Gm A#
To arouse the beaten mind

[Outro]
Fm C#
You tuck away yourself inside
G# D#
You ride away on the inmost light
Fm C# G#
Your soul glowing opal-blue
Fm D#
F million voices fade away
Fm C#
I never really got what they're trying to say
Fm C# G#/C D#
For my words there's no getting through
Fm C#
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
G# D# Fm
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
C# G#
And like a raven child
Fm D#
You spread your paltry wings and throw
G# C# Fm
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
C# G#/C D#
That despised the raven child
Fm C#
Fm I awake or is it an evil dream
G# D#
Or maybe the ugly in between
Fm C# G#
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
Fm D# G#
F broken soul in unimpaired parts
C# Fm
In quest for light but it was the dark
C# G#/C D#
That embraced the raven child
Fm C#
F cloak of invisibility
G# D#
To curtain the face of deformity
Fm C# G#
No, darkness let me in
Fm D#
Off to the night's plutonian shores
G# C# Fm
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
C# G#/C D#
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
G# C# G#/C D#
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
Fm D# Fm
Oh, to escape from all below
G# A#m Fm
Spread your wings and go
D# Fm G#5 G5 D#5 Fm
Like a raven child
