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