Shinedown

Goddess of night
Oh! Raven 
Of elder forest
Swoop down from your totem
Take me under your black wings

Fly me into the darkness
Desolate 
Isolation
Enter me into oblivion

Rest me in the heavens 
To shine back down 
On those I leave

Illuminating 
The night
For all to look up at
And believe
