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

C#m B C#m A G#m
[Verse 2]
C#m B C#m B
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
C#m B C#m B
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
A G#m
All the noise and decree
C#m B C#m B
And the craze in empty eyes
C#m B C#m B
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
C#m B C#m
D# dream of love, I've got to suffocate
B A
While I keep on waiting
G#m C#m B
For the hour I'll be called to realize
C#m B C#m B C#m
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A C#m
The sky is crawling down the mound
G#5 A5 G#5 A5 G#5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
A G#m
Spectres flare and spit and rise
F#m
To mingle with the skies
B
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F F# C#
D# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
G#m
Gonna run and never get away
B D#m A#m B
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
G#m C# A#m B
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? D# lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]
C#m B C#m B
Oh raven child
C#m B C#m A G#m
Raven child
[Verse 2]
C#m B/C#
Bewildering and strange
C#m B/C#
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
C#m B/C#
Sweet scent of rain
C#m B/C# A
They're calling you astounding how it is
G#m
Not the same it used to be
C#m B/C# C#m B/C#
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
C#m B/C#
The tolling of the bell
C#m B/C#
Is there anyone to tell me
C#m B/C#
What they wanna say?
C#m B/C# A
Voices go on and on and on to me
G#m
But their tongues won't permeate
C#m B/C# C#m
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A C#m
In your altered state of mind
G#5 A5 G#5 A5 G#5
In vain you're chasing light
A G#m
Your master in his frown
F#m
Denial of the crown of creation
B
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F F# C#
D# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
G#m
Gonna run and never get away
B D#m A#m B
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
D#m C#/F F# C#
D# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
G#m
Gonna run and never get away
B D#m A#m B
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
G#m C# A#m B
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? D# lonely heart in an endless line

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

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