Lyrics
the raven makes its slow descent
to pry away our years well spent
the messenger that darkness sent
yet mother never sees
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
…and it drags us down, down, down, down
the eagle stays away the night
and with the bear no longer fights
scorpion tries to flex its might
as sand rips through our eyes
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace
we hurl ourselves to the vanishing point
and then in fire we will annoint
a dried-out stone we can’t exploit
we brought it on ourselves
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
…and it drags us down, down, down, down
wretched raven take to the sky
for centuries we have asked you why
you leave us here on earth to die
eclipse our dimming sun
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace
…and it drags us down, down, down
