New York Room - Raven lyrics

rate me

raised hedges in the wilting grass

stalks of broken straw

barren fields and broken glass

barbed wire fence

as day breaks, a white light

shines through the fog

the sunrise climbs higher

inside the sky

raven fly, come with me

and all the long flocks of black crows

their legions wait in counted rows

and with each day their numbers grow

wait here with me in their shadow

and when the north wind starts to blow

they'll take their place and they will show

us all that they wish us to know

they'll fill the sky, they'll steal your soul

and as the locusts are swarming

you'll hear their cry, you'll feel their sting

and when the season turns to spring

the mighty raven spreads his wings

and you will hear the beacons sing

come and receive the gifts they bring

and in their claws our bodies cling

all through the skies their screams will ring
