Raven Shadows
Raven Shadows
Ravens fly in an ebony pool out of the mouth of evil
Someone please suture the mouth from which they come
Then let the beasts fly away into obscurity
The masquerade of Shadows moves on
In their aloof manner coaxing you to follow
Behind you walk in cousin shadows towards death
Darkness tends to hypnotize all that want to believe
Flashing you a veneer smile, darkness with fake teeth
All the darkness, ravens, and shadows share like eyes
Those of a glowing opaque evanescence
Still you are just too weak to show your resistance
Into the mountain runs a crimson creek
The gateway into which you are being led
All these evil spirits that you now call friends
Are going to claim victory the very moment you die...
