robert john godfrey - the raven lyrics

Loading...

the raven spins north on the skyway’s chains
to wheel and spin through weathered rains
to hunt, to seek, to k!ll his prey
his instinct shows no other way
there is seen no less a n0ble bird
that wheels and spins down, never heard
to talon and tear at lesser prey
to fill, then climb, then turn away
through floating fingers of the golden sunset

the raven wings its way far northward
on a mission of instinct, still hunting prey
seeks his home beyond the day
of this, his torment of never rest
onward on to find his nest
the wind through the trees
then feathers its way

the hunter’s keen eye
the raven’s the prey
the hawkwinds are silenced
the arrow is spent
the raven spins downward
downward, downward
downward, downward
the chains of the skyway are shattered asunder
the fate of the hunted, the work of the hunter
yet none with a bow should take the raven
for carrion is a less worthy saving
the archer now as a man is marked
and nature’s justice of the air

the raven wings its way far northward
on a mission of instinct, still hunting prey
seeks his home beyond the day
of this, his torment of never rest
onward on to find his nest
the wind through the trees
then feathers its way

so her reason will see this man
no colder season than winter’s time can discontent
a man from the purpose he was meant
endowed with more integrity
than to k!ll the creatures less than we

the raven wings its way far northward
on a mission of instinct, still hunting prey
seeks his home beyond the day
of this, his torment of never rest
onward on to find his nest
the wind through the trees
then feathers its way
homeward on and onward, seeking the day
still soaring skywards and away
