Ravens' Sorrow (Version 2)

Verse

Black wings fold above the ice

Sorrow gathers where the snow turns pale

Old gods whisper through the wind

Tell me what's left after all the gale

I've walked these roads beneath the moon

Lost friends in shadows cast too soon

The north remembers nothing that fades

So I'll let the raven take my shade

Pre-Chorus

And will you follow to the dark below?

Can your shadow walk where mine has gone?

Is there anything left worth keeping here?

Or is it time for me to leave this place with you and disappear?

Chorus

Ravens' sorrow, black wings call

I'll follow you down through the stone wall

Into dark where nothing holds its name

Let the wind take us where the raven claims

Ravens' sorrow, lost in your gaze

We're not alive when only shadows amaze

Verse 2

Snow turns crimson like a wound that won't heal

Every breath I draw is borrowed steel

You walk beside me through this frozen land

Your eyes say nothing of this endless sand

I've seen it all before beneath the midnight sky

Bodies scattered where the snow will dry

But your hand finds mine and pulls me on

Into the dark where stars no longer shine

Pre-Chorus

And will you follow to the dark below?

Can your shadow walk where mine has gone?

Is there anything left worth keeping here?

Or is it time for me to leave this place with you and disappear?

Chorus

Ravens' sorrow, black wings call

I'll follow you down through the stone wall

Into dark where nothing holds its name

Let the wind take us where the raven claims

Ravens' sorrow, lost in your gaze

We're not alive when only shadows amaze

Bridge

Maybe we were never here to stay

Just two ghosts dancing in the endless grey

So I'll follow your lead through this frozen night

Into nothing left but stars and flight

Chorus

Ravens' sorrow, black wings call

I'll follow you down through the stone wall

Into dark where nothing holds its name

Let the wind take us where the raven claims

Ravens' sorrow, lost in your gaze

We're not alive when only shadows amaze
