Ravens Lyrics - All About Eve

Late last night, about a quarter to twelve 

In the middle of an awful storm 

I took fright at the terrible sight 

Of a raven flying into my room 

My blood ran cold, my heart stood still 

As I pulled the covers over my head 

A minute dragged by as I opened my eyes up 

To find her at the end of my bed 

Then she spoke in a devilish croak 

About herself being one of a score 

And I felt sick at the very idea 

Of dealing with nineteen more 

She said, "look out your window" 

I see a skyfull, I pull a rifle on them all. 

Pink sunrise in the wintry skies 

All warm on the wings of a dove 

She sinks and lands on the back of my hand 

And sings with the voice of love... 

"thoughts made flesh can be beautiful things 

As I am one of the same, 

Fed so well on the best of your dreams 

And the beauty found within 

But those black beasts that you see in the east 

Are scratching on the orchard floor 

At split, sweet fruits and the writhing worms 

That you keep behind the straining door 

Go to the cellar! 

I see the beasts and they're eating 

Feasting on it". 

Fill my head with small white flowers 

Help the sweetness heal the sour 

Draw on high religious power 

Free the ravens from the tower.
