the raven

[Intro] (Instrumental with subtle hoooo-owl in the background) [Verse 1] In the void, a silent howl echoes deep Shadows writhe, whispering secrets they keep Silence paints my dreams, a canvas dark and steep Ravens feast on my heart, their watch they keep [Pre-Chorus] A meeee-ow, a distant call, tap-tap-tap at my door The fire of life, once a heartbeat's roar [Chorus] Lost in the abyss, where silent wolves do roam Trapped forever, in this haunted spectral home Shattered wings scream, a symphony of pain Consumed by darkness, the only refrain [Interlude] (Instrumental with a faint tssss-iko hissing) [Verse 2] Ghosts of the past, their presence ever near Echoes through the core, a sound so clear The fire of life, now just embers in the dark In the shhh-ooo of my face, a dying spark [Pre-Chorus] A tchk-tchk-tchk, rhythm of despair Whispers weave, a tapestry of air [Chorus] Lost in the abyss, where silent wolves do roam Trapped forever, in this haunted spectral home Shattered wings scream, a symphony of pain Consumed by darkness, the only refrain [Bridge] A kuh-kuh-kuh raven's call, into the night's embrace An owl's echo, through the light's broken lace [Outro] Adrift in the darkness, the shhh-ooo of my mind Haunted forever, by the ghosts I left behind Shattered wings whisper, calling out my name Succumbing to the eternal flame.
