[Verse 1]
C#m B A Bsus2
Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness
C#m B G#m A
Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields
C#m B/D# E A C#m
Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail
A B
To a different world
C#m B A Bsus2
Where the castle looks out to a valley
C#m B G#m A
Where I'm given all the love that I crave
C#m B/D# E A C#m
Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare
A B
my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m G#m
Cold is the wind
C#m B
Bringing forth clarity
F#m G#m
Time rushing on
C#m
And nothing will remain
F#m G#m A B
There's no glory on the last journey
C#m B/D# E A C#m B
Hooooooo, hooooome
C#m B E A C#m B
Hooooooo, hooooome
C#m B/D# E A C#m B
Hooooooo, hooooome
C#m B E A C#m B
Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Bm A Bm A
Looking down from this pure cup of heaven
Bm A Bm A
Onto an ocean of white that drowns
G F#m
All the noise and decree
Bm A Bm A
And the craze in empty eyes
Bm A Bm A
Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination
Bm A Bm
C# dream of love, I've got to suffocate
A G
While I keep on waiting
F#m Bm A
For the hour I'll be called to realize
Bm A Bm A Bm
And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Bm
The sky is crawling down the mound
F#5 G5 F#5 G5 F#5
Into the deadwood on the ground, They say
G F#m
Spectres flare and spit and rise
Em
To mingle with the skies
A
And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
C#m B/D# E B
C# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
F#m
Gonna run and never get away
A C#m G#m A
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
F#m B G#m A
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? C# lonely heart in an endless line
[Interlude 2]
Bm A Bm A
Oh raven child
Bm A Bm G F#m
Raven child
[Verse 2]
Bm A/B
Bewildering and strange
Bm A/B
The scent of spring and cherry blossoms
Bm A/B
Sweet scent of rain
Bm A/B G
They're calling you astounding how it is
F#m
Not the same it used to be
Bm A/B Bm A/B
When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own
Bm A/B
The tolling of the bell
Bm A/B
Is there anyone to tell me
Bm A/B
What they wanna say?
Bm A/B G
Voices go on and on and on to me
F#m
But their tongues won't permeate
Bm A/B Bm
Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
G Bm
In your altered state of mind
F#5 G5 F#5 G5 F#5
In vain you're chasing light
G F#m
Your master in his frown
Em
Denial of the crown of creation
A
You're made to think you are
[Chorus]
C#m B/D# E B
C# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
F#m
Gonna run and never get away
A C#m G#m A
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
C#m B/D# E B
C# fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way
F#m
Gonna run and never get away
A C#m G#m A
Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?
F#m B G#m A
Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? C# lonely heart in an endless line

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

Comin' down, goin' all the way now, You won't get away You know
G#m
Finally the way you're shown You're goin' now Comin' down (x8)
E F#
G#m
Into the light
F#
In the light there's a crack torn open
E F#
From underneath the day
G#m F#
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
E F#
Feel the dark rolling in, your way
G#m F#
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
E F#
Ignite your spirits fly
C#m
See a light to uncloak their master
D#m F#
To arouse the beaten mind
C#m B
In the light there's a crack torn open
A B
From underneath the day (You dream and fly)
C#m B
In the light, but a crack, is it growing?
A B
Feel the dark rolling in your way (Hey raven child)
C#m B
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
A B
Ignite your spirits fly

Uncloak the raven master

To arouse the beaten mind

Yeah
[Outro]
C#m A
You tuck away yourself inside
E B
You ride away on the inmost light
C#m A E
Your soul glowing opal-blue
C#m B
C# million voices fade away
C#m A
I never really got what they're trying to say
C#m A E/G# B
For my words there's no getting through
C#m A
Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore
E B C#m
You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this
A E
And like a raven child
C#m B
You spread your paltry wings and throw
E A C#m
Yourself into the wind to escape from all below
A E/G# B
That despised the raven child
C#m A
C#m I awake or is it an evil dream
E B
Or maybe the ugly in between
C#m A E
Like me, a weak hermaphrodite
C#m B E
C# broken soul in unimpaired parts
A C#m
In quest for light but it was the dark
A E/G# B
That embraced the raven child
C#m A
C# cloak of invisibility
E B
To curtain the face of deformity
C#m A E
No, darkness let me in
C#m B
Off to the night's plutonian shores
E A C#m
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this
A E/G# B
Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes)
E A E/G# B
Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child)
C#m B C#m
Oh, to escape from all below
E F#m C#m
Spread your wings and go
B C#m E5 D#5 B5 C#m
Like a raven child
