After Death

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
