hark raven up above i know what you're thinking of i've seen you before perched up high you only stare every time in my nightmare i see you once more now a crafty knight does wield a blow which evades my shield you know what's in store blood is rushing darkness looms all that's left to see is gloom i am on all fours I clasp my hands in prayer and cry as you wait for me to die like a thousand times before

Maybe, because there's this traditional folk song "The Three Ravens" that I've recently listened to.
