Communion for Ravens - Phinehas, Jimmy Ryan

The smell of wine turned

Bread beneath the gallows tree

Ode to the nameless: a hooded child

Communion for Ravens

No hope to lose;

no past to mourn

Born a slave deep in the earth

A famine-stricken cursed womb

Nothing is sacred

The only escape is death

You would torture my family

To litter my tomb

I refuse to live dead any longer

Hooks on the wall over open flame (Silence escape)

Bowing heads into the earth (No hope; no name)

Hooks on the wall over open flame (Silence escape)

Bowing heads into the earth (No hope; no name)

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

The smell of wine turned

Bread beneath the gallows tree

Ode to the nameless: a hooded child

Communion for Ravens

I saw the stone walls fall

Crushing their will to dust

Swept away with the river’s current

But still, I see every face

I refuse to live dead any longer

In blood or in famine

Silence escape

Grow old to die here

No hope;

no name

I refuse to live dead any longer

The smell of wine turned

Bread beneath the gallows tree

Ode to the nameless: a hooded child

Communion for Ravens

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer

I refuse to live dead any longer
