lyrics

Ravens of the Nine Worlds
© 9/2014 G. LaMonte – Huginn and Muninn chased me all the way to Meren’s house in Asheville, NC

Ebon wings are chasing me down highway and back road
And even when I stop to get my fill
They are perched upon the neon, daring me ignore
The sign upon the sign, if you will / The sign upon the sign, if you will

Black wings, they are flying, one goes left and one goes right
I feel their wicked talons ‘pon my skin
I name them Rock and Hard Place, and they cry with all they know
And I’m daring them to let it all sink in / I’m dizzy as I let it all sink in

CHORUS: Ravens of the Nine Worlds, come whisper in my ear
And I will listen like the very gods of old
You’re my thought and my desire, you’re the lyric and the chord
And between the two is where my song will grow / Between the two is where my song will grow

Bring me every dead thing; bring me every seed
Bring me all that lives and all that dies
Tell me all I need to know and just a little more
And I’ll release you, I’ll release you to the sky / For the ravens of the nine worlds, they must fly

CHORUS: Ravens of the Nine Worlds, come whisper in my ear
And I will listen like the very gods of old
You’re my thought and my desire, you’re the lyric and the chord
And between the two is where my song will grow / Between the two is where my song will grow

BRIDGE: Sometimes their gift is dark and sweet
Sometimes it’s bright as fire
Sometimes those Ravens make me laugh
And as they circle higher
Sometimes they leave me far too long
I fear they’ll not return
Raven halves of mine own soul
To me! With every word

Bring me every dead thing; bring me every seed
Bring me all that lives and all that dies
Tell me all I need to know and just a little more
And I’ll release you, I’ll release you to the sky / For the ravens of the nine worlds, they must fly

CHORUS
