[Verse 1]
Em D C Dsus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
Em D Bm C
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
Em D/F# G C Em
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
C D
To a different world
Em D C Dsus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
Em D Bm C
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
Em D/F# G C Em
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
C D
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am Bm
Cold is the wind
Em D
Bringing forth clarity
Am Bm
Time rushing on
Em
And nothing will remain
Am Bm C D
There's no glory on the last journey
Em D/F# G C Em D
Hooooooo, hooooome
Em D G C Em D
Hooooooo, hooooome
Em D/F# G C Em D
Hooooooo, hooooome
Em D G C Em D
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Dm C Dm C
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Dm C Dm C
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
A# Am
All the noise and decree
Dm C Dm C
And the craze in empty eyes
Dm C Dm C
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Dm C Dm
E dream of love, I've got to suffocate
C A#
While I keep on waiting
Am Dm C
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Dm C Dm C Dm
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A# Dm
The sky is crawling down the mound
A5 A#5 A5 A#5 A5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
A# Am
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Gm
To mingle with the skies
C
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G D
E fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Am
Gonna run and never get away
C Em Bm C
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
Am D Bm C
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? E lonely heart in an endless line

Dm C Dm C
Oh raven child
Dm C Dm A# Am
Raven child
[Verse 2]
Dm C/D
Bewildering and strange
Dm C/D
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Dm C/D
Sweet scent of rain
Dm C/D A#
They're calling you astounding how it is
Am
Not the same it used to be
Dm C/D Dm C/D
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Dm C/D
The tolling of the bell
Dm C/D
Is there anyone to tell me
Dm C/D
What they wanna say?
Dm C/D A#
Voices go on and on and on to me
Am
But their tongues won't permeate
Dm C/D Dm
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A# Dm
In your altered state of mind
A5 A#5 A5 A#5 A5
In vain you're chasing light
A# Am
Your master in his frown
Gm
Denial of the crown of creation
C
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G D
E fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Am
Gonna run and never get away
C Em Bm C
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
Em D/F# G D
E fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Am
Gonna run and never get away
C Em Bm C
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
Am D Bm C
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? E lonely heart in an endless line

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

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

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

In the light there's a crack torn open

From underneath the day (You dream and fly)

[Outro]
Em C
You tuck away yourself inside
G D
You ride away on the inmost light
Em C G
Your soul glowing opal-blue
Em D
E million voices fade away
Em C
I never really got what they're trying to say
Em C G/B D
For my words there's no getting through
Em C
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
G D Em
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
C G
And like a raven child
Em D
You spread your paltry wings and throw
G C Em
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
C G/B D
That despised the raven child
Em C
Em I awake or is it an evil dream
G D
Or maybe the ugly in between
Em C G
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
Em D G
E broken soul in unimpaired parts
C Em
In quest for light but it was the dark
C G/B D
That embraced the raven child
Em C
E cloak of invisibility
G D
To curtain the face of deformity
Em C G
No, darkness let me in
Em D
Off to the night's plutonian shores
G C Em
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
C G/B D
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
G C G/B D
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
Em D Em
Oh, to escape from all below
G Am Em
Spread your wings and go
D Em G5 F#5 D5 Em
Like a raven child
