[Verse 1]
Dm C A# Csus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
Dm C Am A#
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
Dm C/E F A# Dm
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
A# C
To a different world
Dm C A# Csus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
Dm C Am A#
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
Dm C/E F A# Dm
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
A# C
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm Am
Cold is the wind
Dm C
Bringing forth clarity
Gm Am
Time rushing on
Dm
And nothing will remain
Gm Am A# C
There's no glory on the last journey
Dm C/E F A# Dm C
Hooooooo, hooooome
Dm C F A# Dm C
Hooooooo, hooooome
Dm C/E F A# Dm C
Hooooooo, hooooome
Dm C F A# Dm C
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Cm A# Cm A#
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Cm A# Cm A#
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
Ab Gm
All the noise and decree
Cm A# Cm A#
And the craze in empty eyes
Cm A# Cm A#
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Cm A# Cm
D dream of love, I've got to suffocate
A# Ab
While I keep on waiting
Gm Cm A#
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Cm A# Cm A# Cm
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ab Cm
The sky is crawling down the mound
G5 Ab5 G5 Ab5 G5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
Ab Gm
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Fm
To mingle with the skies
A#
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Dm C/E F C
D fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
Gm
Gonna run and never get away
A# Dm Am A#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

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

Oh raven child
Cm A# Cm Ab Gm
Raven child
[Verse 2]
Cm A#/C
Bewildering and strange
Cm A#/C
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Cm A#/C
Sweet scent of rain
Cm A#/C Ab
They're calling you astounding how it is
Gm
Not the same it used to be
Cm A#/C Cm A#/C
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Cm A#/C
The tolling of the bell
Cm A#/C
Is there anyone to tell me
Cm A#/C
What they wanna say?
Cm A#/C Ab
Voices go on and on and on to me
Gm
But their tongues won't permeate
Cm A#/C Cm
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Ab Cm
In your altered state of mind
G5 Ab5 G5 Ab5 G5
In vain you're chasing light
Ab Gm
Your master in his frown
Fm
Denial of the crown of creation
A#
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
Dm C/E F C
D fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

Gonna run and never get away

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

Gonna run and never get away
A# Dm Am A#
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

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

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

Into the light

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

Ignite your spirits fly

See a light to uncloak their master

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

Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)

Oh, to escape from all below

Spread your wings and go
