After Death - She Must Burn

Ravens claws pierce through my chest

Its beak relentlessly devours the rest

Who be the lord of these ebony beasts

Forth they are sent valkyries

Black arrows cut through the cold misty eve

Gathering souls from the severed remains

Glance upon flesh with thy glistening eye

Gather whatever is required this night

Pick the flesh from the bones and bare all to see

Where am I to go from here?

Oh raven, oh symbol of death

You keep tormenting me

Casting my shadow so bleak

Driving me deep, deep in to madness

Moonlit eyes cast the passageway into your soul

Illuminate your past for your fate to unfurl

Let me guide your spirit be one with the wind

Enticed by the shadow of doubt

Since death I’ve feared the worse

Speak and tell me if I’m blessed or cursed

Black marble are the eyes of the raven

Speak and tell me if I am blessed or cursed

A sign of misfortune as I breath my last

Carry my spirit from life into death

Pick the flesh from the bones and bare all to see

Where am I to go from here?

Oh raven, oh symbol of death

You keep tormenting me

Casting my shadow so bleak

Driving me deep, deep in to madness

Moonlit eyes cast the passageway into your soul

Illuminate your past for your fate to unfurl

Let me guide your spirit be one with the wind

Enticed by the shadow of doubt

To behold such beauty repulsing

The stench of death is truly revolting

Her silhouette drifts, gracefully floating

I wish to leave no secrets
