The Raven Child (feat. Hansi Kürsch & Jorn Lande)

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 a 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
 Home
 Home
 Home
 ♪
 Looking down from this pure cope of heaven
 Onto 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're compelled behind the crenel on your own
 The tolling of the bell
 Is there anyone to tell me what they wanna 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, yeah
 Your master in his frown
 Denial of the crown of creation
 You're mad 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 fiery alignment?
 Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie?
 A lonely heart in and endless line

 Light breeze in the crowns of the willows
 Green fields as if the day was on the wane
 Grow faint and attain to perfection
 What a backdrop for a diamond
 And so we sway in the wind like the willow
 Meant to give way to the order of the storm
 Won't leave a mould in 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
 On my

 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 rolling in, your way
 Feel the light look away
 It's gonna blind you
 Ignite your 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 you spirits fly
 Uncloak the raven master
 To arouse the beaten mind
 You tuck away yourself inside
 You ride away on the inmost light
 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 throw
 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 burning 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 fate 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 (Oh fiery eyes)
 Flying raven child (Oh fiery eyes)
 Flying raven child
 Oh to escape from all below
 Spread your wings and go
 Like a raven child
