[Verse 1]
Am G F Gsus2 Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness Am G Em F Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields Am G/B C F Am Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail F G To a different world Am G F Gsus2 Where the castle looks out to a valley Am G Em F Where I'm given all the love that I crave Am G/B C F Am Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare F G my brittle soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm Em Cold is the wind Am G Bringing forth clarity Dm Em Time rushing on Am And nothing will remain Dm Em F G There's no glory on the last journey Am G/B C F Am G Hooooooo, hooooome Am G C F Am G Hooooooo, hooooome Am G/B C F Am G Hooooooo, hooooome Am G C F Am G Hooooooo, hooooome

[Verse 2]
Gm F Gm F Looking down from this pure cup of heaven Gm F Gm F Onto an ocean of white that drowns Eb Dm All the noise and decree Gm F Gm F And the craze in empty eyes Gm F Gm F Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination Gm F Gm A dream of love, I've got to suffocate F Eb While I keep on waiting Dm Gm F For the hour I'll be called to realize Gm F Gm F Gm And see it all before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eb Gm The sky is crawling down the mound D5 Eb5 D5 Eb5 D5 Into the deadwood on the ground, They say Eb Dm Spectres flare and spit and rise Cm To mingle with the skies F And take all that's never meant to be
[Chorus]
Am G/B C G A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way Dm Gonna run and never get away F Am Em F Is it love that glows in fiery alignment? Dm G Em F Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? A lonely heart in an endless line

[Verse 2]
Gm F/G Bewildering and strange Gm F/G The scent of spring and cherry blossoms Gm F/G Sweet scent of rain Gm F/G Eb They're calling you astounding how it is Dm Not the same it used to be Gm F/G Gm F/G When you're compelled behind The crenel on your own Gm F/G The tolling of the bell Gm F/G Is there anyone to tell me Gm F/G What they wanna say? Gm F/G Eb Voices go on and on and on to me Dm But their tongues won't permeate Gm F/G Gm Throughout my soul
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Eb Gm In your altered state of mind D5 Eb5 D5 Eb5 D5 In vain you're chasing light Eb Dm Your master in his frown Cm Denial of the crown of creation F You're made to think you are
[Chorus]

Bm A G A Light breeze in the crowns of the willows Bm A F#m G Green fields as if the day was on the wane Em D A Bm Grow faint and attain to perfection Em D C What a backdrop for a diamond Bm A G A And so we sway in the wind like the willow Bm A F#m G Meant to give way to the order of the storm Em D A Bm Won't leave a mould in the marsh of the ages Em D C A tired chevalier of fortune Bm A G A Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic Bm A F#m G The unborn in the stream of destiny Em D A Bm Time flows to become a mound of nothing Em D C For a broken soldier of fortune
[Bridge]

Em Into the light D In the light there's a crack torn open C D From underneath the day Em D In the light, but a crack, is it growing? C D Feel the dark rolling in, your way Em D Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you C D Ignite your spirits fly Am See a light to uncloak their master Bm D To arouse the beaten mind Am G In the light there's a crack torn open F G From underneath the day (You dream and fly) Am G In the light, but a crack, is it growing? F G Feel the dark rolling in your way (Hey raven child) Am G Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you F G Ignite your spirits fly Dm Uncloak the raven master E To arouse the beaten mind

Am F You tuck away yourself inside C G You ride away on the inmost light Am F C Your soul glowing opal-blue Am G A million voices fade away Am F I never really got what they're trying to say Am F C/E G For my words there's no getting through Am F Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore C G Am You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this F C And like a raven child Am G You spread your paltry wings and throw C F Am Yourself into the wind to escape from all below F C/E G That despised the raven child Am F Am I awake or is it an evil dream C G Or maybe the ugly in between Am F C Like me, a weak hermaphrodite Am G C A broken soul in unimpaired parts F Am In quest for light but it was the dark F C/E G That embraced the raven child Am F A cloak of invisibility C G To curtain the face of deformity Am F C No, darkness let me in Am G Off to the night's plutonian shores C F Am You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this F C/E G Flying raven child (Oh, fiery eyes) C F C/E G Oh, fiery eyes (Flying raven child) Am G Am Oh, to escape from all below C Dm Am Spread your wings and go G Am C5 B5 G5 Am Like a raven child
