the raven child

Avantasia

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 castle looks out to the 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 the clarity
Time rushing on
And nothing will remain
There's no glory on the last journey
Home

Looking down from this pure cope of heaven
To 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 an endless line

Oh, raven child, raven child

Bewildering and strange the scent of spring
and cherry blossoms
Sweet scents of rain
they're calling you
Astounding how it is
not the same used to be
When you're compelled behind the crenel
on yout 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 and 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 an endless line

Light breeze in the crowns of a willows
Green fields as if the day was on the wane
Grow faint and attain to perfection
what a backdrop for a diamond

And we so we 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 to get way
you know
finally the way you're shown
you're goin' now

You're on the way to the endless
Your soul glowing on pure blue

Into the light
In the light there's a crack torn open
from the underneath the day
In the light but a crack is it growing?
Fell the dark rolling in your way
fell the light look away it's gonna blind you
Ignite you spirits fly

See a light to uncloak their master
to arouse the beaten mind

In the light there's a crack torn open
from the underneath the day
You dream and fly
In the light but a crack is it growing?
Fell the dark rolling in your way
Hey raven child
Feel the light look away it's gonna blind you
Ignite you spirits fly

Uncloak the raven master to arouse the beaten mind
Yeah!

You tuck away your self inside
Your ride away in inmost light
your soul glowing opan-blue

A million voices fade away
I never really got what they're tryng to say
for my worlds there's no getting through

Oh you said the night's plutonian shore
You drift to sleep on can't 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 awke 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 it was the dark
that embraced the raven child

A cloak of invisibility
To curtain the face of deformity
No darknes let me in

Off to the night Plutonian shore
You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this"

Oh fiery eyes
Flying raven child
Oh fiery eyes
Flying raven child

Oh to escape from all below
Spread yout wings... and go
Like a raven child
