The Raven Child (其他)

作曲 : Tobias Sammet
作词 : Tobias Sammet
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 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)
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 a 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
your master in his frown
denial of the crown of creation
you're made 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 a 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 back-drop for a diamond
and so 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
oh my
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
comin' down goin' all the way now
you won't get away you know
finally the way you're shown you're goin' now
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 you
spirits fly
see a light to uncloak raven master
to arouse the beaten mind
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 you
spirits fly
uncloak raven master
to arouse the beaten mind
you tuck away your self inside
you run 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 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 broken soul in unimpaired parts
in quest for light but was the dark
that embraced the raven child
a cloak of invisability
to curtain the face 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
flying raven child (oh,fiery eyes)
flying raven child (oh,fiery eyes
oh, to escape from all below
spread your wings ...and go
like a raven child
