After Death Ravens claws pierce through my chest It's beak relentlessly devours the rest Who be the lord of these ebony beasts Forth they are sent valkyries Black arrows cut through the cold misty eve Gathering souls from the severed remains Glance upon flesh with thy glistening eye Gather whatever is required this night Pick the flesh from the bones and bare all to see Where am I to go from here Oh raven, oh symbol of death, You keep tormenting me, Casting my shadow so bleak Driving me deep, deep in to madness. Moonlit eyes cast the passageway into your soul, Illuminate your past for your fate to unfurl. Let me guide your spirit be one with the wind, Enticed by the shadow of doubt Since death I've feared the worse, Speak and tell me if I'm blessed or cursed. Black marble are the eyes of the raven, Speak and tell me if I'm blessed or cursed, A sign of misfortune as I breath my last. Carry my spirit from life, into death. Pick the flesh from the bones and bare all to see Where am I to go from here Oh raven, oh symbol of death, You keep tormenting me, Casting my shadow so bleak Driving me deep, deep in to madness. Moonlit eyes cast the passageway into your soul, Illuminate your Past for your fate to unfurl. Let me guide your spirit Be one with the wind, Enticed by the shadow of doubt To behold such beauty repulsing The stench of death is truly revolting Her silhouette drifts, gracefully floating I wish to leave no secrets
