Lyrics by Kaien Von Rode © [Verse 1] I wandered through the ruins of my mind, A shattered soul, leaving the light behind. The glass of my reflection, cracked and torn, In the freezing breath of a bitter morn. I fell into the shadows, frail and weak, With silent tears I could no longer speak. But then a rustle in the endless gray— A solemn watcher chased the void away. [Pre-Chorus] An eye of onyx piercing through the night, A sudden grace within the fading light. He landed softly on my bleeding stone, And whispered I would never walk alone. [Chorus] Under the guarding wings of a raven, I found a shelter, a midnight haven! He draped his feathers over my despair, And wove my sorrow into empty air. Through the abyss, he is my guiding spark, The guardian of the broken in the dark. Under his wings, the shattered pieces mend, My dark protector, my unspoken friend. [Verse 2] We walked the valley where the dead leaves fall, Where haunting echoes of my demons call. He flew ahead to catch the bitter wind, And showed me where the healing could begin. His call was like a symphony of old, A tragic beauty shielding from the cold. He picked the jagged sorrows from my path, And saved me from my own destructive wrath. [Pre-Chorus] An eye of onyx piercing through the night, A sudden grace within the fading light. He leads me upward from the bleeding stone, And whispers I will never walk alone. [Chorus] Under the guarding wings of a raven, I found a shelter, a midnight haven! He draped his feathers over my despair, And wove my sorrow into empty air. Through the abyss, he is my guiding spark, The guardian of the broken in the dark. Under his wings, the shattered pieces mend, My dark protector, my unspoken friend. [Verse 3] The crimson rivers turned to quiet streams, Awaking softly from the fevered dreams. He brought me silver from the weeping moon, And sang a silent, melancholic tune. My fragile bones grew heavy with the earth, A dark awakening, a second birth. The scars are painted in obsidian black, With him beside me, there’s no turning back. [Bridge] Oh, wings of twilight, shield my fragile heart! Bind up the veins that time has torn apart! With every feather falling from the sky, I learn again to breathe, I learn to fly! The dawn is breaking through the gothic spire, My soul reborn within the raven’s fire! [Soft Chorus] Under the guarding wings of a raven, I found a shelter... a midnight haven. He draped his feathers over my despair... [Final Chorus] Through the abyss, he is my guiding spark, The guardian of the broken in the dark! Under his wings, the shattered pieces mend, My gothic angel, my healing friend! [Outro] The sun awakes, the shadows gently fade, I stand completely in the light we made. He takes to flight, into the silver sky... Guarding wings... I wave the dark goodbye. [Fade Out]
