Raven's Requiem

[Verse 1]
Black wings gather on the wire
Speaking tongues of ash and fire
Each one bears a name unspoken
Promises already broken

[Pre-Chorus]
Their eyes reflect what's yet to come
The threads of fate already spun

[Chorus]
Every path leads to their tree
Where endings wait eternally
Cawing out the final verse
Of blessing twisted into curse

[Verse 2]
I tried to cheat the written page
Burned the book, destroyed the cage
But ravens know the truth in bone
Every debt must find its home

[Pre-Chorus]
No bargain made can change the score
They have heard each plea before

[Chorus]
Every path leads to their tree
Where endings wait eternally
Cawing out the final verse
Of blessing twisted into curse

[Bridge]
They circle now above my door
Three for past and three for more
The seventh waits with patient eyes
To carry off my last goodbyes

[Outro]
Seven shadows, seven cries
Seven truths and seven lies
The ravens take what fate has sown
And carry all of us back home
