The Raven
by Bayless

Album: Within My Reach

Solemnly pacing through the meadow's eve
Your eyes appear sullen he shouted carefully
For he was not alone not the only breath to be seen
A raven in audience holding court in the judge's seat
"My boy whatever do you mean?"
The boy said "You no longer rule in my veins as you've fashioned
And I bind you in the Name of the One who bore my lashings
Too long you've haunted my dreams so frail
Raven you're no longer welcome to watch me fail
So I say…"
Nevermore will your lies destroy my heart
Nevermore will you tear my life apart
Nevermore will you leave me with these scars
Nevermore
She's a scavenger holding to empty valor
A princess of lies where the shadows invite prowlers
It's not been like this always
Writhing in constant shame
Tears where the dirt has claimed
Lost in her prayers for rain
Her life was a dance away from pain
Somber cries can't drown the judgement in this ally's eyes
An imposter perched high the raven calls into sorrow's pride
"Too long you've haunted my dreams so frail
Raven you're no longer welcome to watch me fail"
