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