The Raven Child (feat. Hansi Kürsch)

Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness

Mother moon, cast your spell on these fields

Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail to a different world

Where the castle looks out to the valley

Where I'm given all the love that I crave

Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare my brittle soul

Cold is the wind

Bringing forth clarity

Time rushing on

And nothing will remain

There's no glory on the last journey

Home

Looking down from this pure cope of heaven

To an ocean of white that drowns

All the noise and decree

And the craze in empty eyes

Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination

A dream of love

I've got to suffocate while I keep on waiting

For the hour I'll be called to realize

And see it all before my eyes

The sky is crawling down the mound

Into the deadwood on the ground

They say

Spectres flare and spit and rise

To mingle with the skies

And take all that's never meant to be

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

Gonna run and never get away

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment?

Starry-eyed? Maybe living a lie?

A lonely heart in and endless line

Oh, raven child, raven child

Bewildering and strange

The scent of spring and cherry blossoms

Sweet scent of rain they're calling you

Astounding how it is not the same it used to be

When you compelled behind the crenel on your

Own

The tolling of the bell, is there

Anyone to tell me what they want to say

Voices go on and on and on to me

But their tongues won't permeate

Throughout my soul

In your altered state of mind

In vain you're chasing light

Your master in his frown

Denial of the crown of creation

You're made to think you are

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

Gonna run and never get away

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way

Gonna run and never get away

Is it love that glows in far fiery alignment

Starry-eyed? Maybe living a lie?

A lonely heart in and endless line

Light breeze in the crowns of a willow

Green fields as if the day was on the way

Grow faith and attain to perfection

What a backdrop for a diamond

So we sway in the wind like the willow

Meant to give way to the order of the storm

Won't leave a mold of the marsh of the ages

A tired chevalier of fortune

Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic

The unborn in the stream of destiny

Time flows to become a mound of nothing

For a broken soldier of fortune

Oh, my

Comin' down

Goin' all the way now

You won't get away

You know

Finally the way you're goin' now

Into the light

In the light

There's a crack torn open

From underneath the day

In the light

But a crack is it growing?

Feel the dark rolllinng in, your way

Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you

Ignite you spirits fly

See a light to uncloak their master

To arouse the beaten mind

In the light

There's a crack torn open

From underneath the day

You dream and fly

In the light

But a crack

Is it growing?

Feel the dark

Rolling in your way

Hey raven child

Feel the light look away

It's gonna blind you

Ignite your spirits fly

Uncloak the raven master

To arouse the beaten mind

You tuck away your self inside

You ride away on the endless night

Your soul glowing opal-blue

A million voices fade away

I never really got what they're trying to say

For my words there's no getting through

Oh, you sail to the night's

Plutonian shore

You drift to sleep you can't take no more

Of this and like a raven child

You spread your paltry wings and trow

Yourself into the wind to escape from all below

That despised the raven child

Am I awake or is it an evil dream

Or maybe the ugly in between

Like me a weak hermaphrodite

A broken soul in unimpaired parts

In quest for light but it was the dark

That embraced the raven child

A cloak of invisibility

To curtain the face of deformity

No darkness let me in

Off to the night's plutonian shore

You dream and hope you won't wake

No more to this!

Flying raven child

(Oh fiery eyes)

Oh, to escape from all below

Spread your wings

And go

Like a raven child
