Messenger of Fate

In the darkest night a raven takes flight Through the shadows it soars in the pale moonlight Eyes like burning coal a creature of the night Whispers in the wind of an impending fight Through the tempest glides with a haunting cry Echoes through the forest where the lost souls lie A sentinel of death harbinger of despair Circling above us with an ominous glare Oh raven of the dark Guiding souls to the unknown Messenger of fate Bearing secrets untold As the thunder roars and the lightning strikes The raven watches as the world ignites Beneath the silver moon the raven takes its flight watches the world burn In the dark cold night Through the moon's dim light the raven takes its flight Echoing ancient stories in the black of night Slice through the silence with a razor sharp call Keeper of the dusk where the secrets abide. Through the tempest glides with a haunting cry Echoes through the forest where the lost souls lie A sentinel of death harbinger of despair Circling above us with an ominous glare Oh raven of the dark Guiding souls to the unknown Messenger of fate Bearing secrets untold In the silence of night Into the abyss it fades Only echo remains
