[Verse 1] I left a thorn on the door For the wolf in your dreams By the fjord, by the stone I was washing black paint off my hands You came in with the frost And a name in your teeth Said, "Baby, don't pray for me" Then you kissed the ash from my cheek [Pre-Chorus] I read the bones You read my face I heard the drums Under the lake Old blood sings Through the pine You want the gate? Then take my sign [Chorus] Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Spin, spin, spin Till the night gives in Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Call my name And the old gods grin [Verse 2] Nine black candles, one red thread Wrapped around your wrist You wore winter like a crown And a storm like a promise on your lips I saw Valkyries in the smoke At the edge of the fire pit glow You said, "If I fall in the dark Don't you let my story go" [Pre-Chorus] I read the bones You read my face I heard the drums Under the lake Old blood sings Through the pine You want the gate? Then take my sign [Chorus] Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Spin, spin, spin Till the night gives in Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Call my name And the old gods grin [Bridge] [Half-time drop] I keep one eye on the moon One hand on the blade If you cross that shallow water You don't come back the same Names in the mud Run quick, run deep What you bury in the cold Still wakes up in me [Final Chorus] Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Spin, spin, spin Till the night gives in Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Call my name And the old gods grin Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Raven rune circle Then the dark lets me in
