[Intro] At first there were thirteen. By noon— the sky had feathers. [Verse 1] Black wings across the northern sea, No cries, no shadows underneath. A thousand birds eclipsed the blue, All facing east— as if they knew. The warning bells began to ring. Something dreamed beneath the sea. [Pre-Chorus] Feather upon feather. Night upon noon. Black out the heavens. Swallow the moon. [Chorus] RAVENS THAT DEVOUR THE SUN— Eat the fire, one by one. Drown the daylight. Seal the dawn. Call the sleeping gods beyond. RAVENS THAT DEVOUR THE SUN— The eternal dusk has come. [Verse 2] Dead words appeared upon the glass. Every compass pointed down. Children dreamed of sunken towers where no human god was found. The birds formed circles in the sky. The oceans warmed. The daylight died. [Chorus] RAVENS THAT DEVOUR THE SUN— Eat the fire, one by one. Drown the daylight. Seal the dawn. Call the sleeping gods beyond. RAVENS THAT DEVOUR THE SUN— The eternal dusk has come. [Bridge — ritual chant] The sea remembers. The stone remembers. The blood remembers what the mind forgot. [Breakdown] THE SKY HAS EYES. THE SEA HAS TEETH. THE STARS ARE NOT WHAT WE BELIEVED. THE SUN WAS NEVER JUST OUR LIGHT— IT WAS THE LOCK THAT KEPT THEM OUTSIDE. [Final Chorus] RAVENS THAT DEVOUR THE SUN— Your black communion has begun. No more morning. No more dawn. The gate is open. They are coming. [Outro] We thought the ravens brought the darkness. No. They were hiding us... from what was looking in.
