Kill The Great 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.
Kill the great raven (repeated)
His tiny eyes, they search the skies
He looks so alone, so he must die
"Oh, does he really have to die?"
"Oh yes, he really has to suffer"
Kill the great raven (repeated)
And when he dies, to his surprise
The sun will set and he will rise
"Where will he go?"
"He'll become the sun of course.
We must have one you know"
Kill the great raven (repeated)
