Sonr Ravns

born in my mothers blood
we shared our pain back to back
in northern December
where the days are either grey or they're black

the mountains and the ocean and the snow
they can all attack
and even if they never do
the threat has got its threads around your neck
learn to crawl on the slippery ice
of this treacherous earth
maybe you got your mothers smile
but you got your fathers eyes
the raven lies within

when it's time
I will wither and leave you behind
(when) it's time
you will see through my eyes
that I needed more to shine
from the depths of this treacherous mind
vile is the raven child

I've heard someone say
that a walk in the shadows
is just like a walk in the park
except you should never go there
if it's this eerie and dark
but where can you run to?
where can you go but here?
an island in the poisonous sea
just breeding your fear
and growing inside of you a desire to disappear
and surely there are enough forces
to take you away from here

just like

when it's time
I will wither and leave you behind
(when) it's time
you will see through my eyes
that I needed more to shine
from the depths of this treacherous mind
vile is the raven child

and when it's time
you will look back and you will despise
the time, it was wasted on me
'cause I needed more to shine
oh treacherous mind
vile is the raven child
