[Verse 1]
A#m G# Fm
I heard the cries of an orphan
F# G# A#
Mourning the passing of time
A#m
I felt pain
G# Fm
Seep from the blood's absolution
F# G# A#
Bled once by wonders divine
A#m
I am amazed
G# Fm
Left in the ruins of greatness
F# G# A#
And I'll keep their nightmare alive
A#m
Fighting in vain
G# Fm
We are the fiends in the shadows
F# G# A#
And I am the beast that survived
[Chorus]
G# A#
Here come the ravens
A#m F#
To take what is mine
F#
Their watching eyes
G# D#m
Waiting for the rest of me to die
G# A#
Here comes the reaper
A#m F#
That hides from the light
F#
Still hunting for
G# D#m
The heart that's still beating inside
G# F# G# A#
For these ravens to find
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
F# G# A#
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
[Verse 2]
A#m G# Fm
Tossed in a well long forgotten
F# G# A#
The duty I had to fulfill
A#m
I can't remember
G# Fm
Why I became a lost dreamer
F# G# A#
For vengeance, or for the next kill
A#m
Locked in a tower
G# Fm
I'll cut away what I've done
F# G# A#
From the rest of the dreamers outside
A#m
Cursed in a portrait
G# Fm
Made of this hunter's regrets
F# G# A#
Of the mother I drowned in the tide
[Chorus]
G# A#
Here come the ravens
A#m F#
To take what is mine
F#
Their watching eyes
G# D#m
Waiting for the rest of me to die
G# A#
Here comes the reaper
A#m F#
That hides from the light
F#
Still hunting for
G# D#m
The heart that's still beating inside
G# F# G# A#
For these ravens to find
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
F# G# A#
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
[Verse 3]
A#m G#
Weep for the master that made me
Fm F# G#
And the raven that heard my last breath
A#m A#
Long have the hunters pursued me
G# F# G#
And tonight I'm your angel of death
A# F#
Fire, blood, and desire
G#
Lost in the mire
F# G#
In desolation
A# F#
Lies, all of us die
G#
And even now, I
F# G#
A#m left to the ravens
[Alt. Chorus]
G# A#
Here come the ravens
A#m F#
To bury my pride
F#
They're hunting me
G# D#m
And trails of my sorrow behind
G# A#
Here comes the new blood
A#m F#
Where secrets should lie
F#
To find rest
G# D#m
Where dreamers and beasts go to die
[Chorus]
G# A#
Here come the ravens
A#m F#
To take what is mine
F#
Their watching eyes
G# D#m
Waiting for the rest of me to die
G# A#
Here comes the reaper
A#m F#
That hides from the light
F#
Still hunting for
G# D#m
The heart that's still beating inside
G# F# G# A#
For these ravens to find
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
F# G# A#
F# G# Fm G#
(Here come the ravens)
