Lyrics
Code Name: Raven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe you'll see me on the evening news
Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head
If that's the case, then I've met my doom
If that's the case, then my comrades are dead
And I don't hate my enemy
I hate the cloud he's brought over my land
There's no virtue in killing a man
Neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand
But I saw the black coats forming lines
They hit our beaches running
We're on our knees, but not to pray
You're the only reason I stay
In this cowards melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
You can't change the course of fates sealed long ago
But hope is not lost (code name: Corbeau)
We trade their secrets at cost for our lives
The panser is strong, the raven is wise
I turn my ears to the BBC
I can hear them, they can't hear me
I long to forget all the horrors I've seen
I live like a ghost, I'll die with the free
Traitors and turn coats turned aside
Traitors loose lips sink
They're on their knees, but just to beg
You're the only reason I stay
In this cowards melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
Inside the fuselage
Valiant young soldiers singing songs
Fear not, my downcast brothers
We are the strong arm of the law
By land and air and sea
On wings of destiny we ride
Sing while the city decays
Sing while we go up in flames
You're the only reason I stay
In this cowards melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood
