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