recurring raven

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
