Mighty wings pay homage to this mortal coil Weaving the night in dusk’s own loom Of velvet like colours that fade to blackness And the singing ravens so supreme in sad melodies Enthral the heart and the feathers of a swan Dancing by the whispering breeze of sunset Nightmares creep as a mighty darkness descends Like a curtain closing and wolves carving for meat
Like ravens ‘neath nightskies As twilight released the midnight shadows From antique yet immemorial majesty About a dream of ravens across nightskies
Ethereal forms enchanted in flames of crimson The streams of light that await the dawn Lost in for eternity for this night is forever And forever shall ravens fly ‘neath nightskies Do the children of this night dream of angels? Or either sing of mystic charms and funeral skies Supreme sunset descent and light is no more Us forever heathen like ravens ‘neath nightskies
A cold breeze whispers softly Like a tale of night eternal Of swans with black feathers And a leaf of gold and crimson Crystallid streams so pure Through benighted nature untouched Every breath flies forever Like ravens ‘neath nightskies
