[Intro: low cello, dark synth pulse, distant raven call, pipe organ shadow] [Verse 1: clean male baritone, dark and intimate] I woke beneath a bleeding moon with ashes on my tongue the bells were dead inside the tower but still the night was young A raven carved my name in silence with a feather made of bone and every shadow in the chapel knew I never walked alone [Pre-Chorus: drums enter, guitars rising] I was not born for daylight I was not made to bow I wear the dark like velvet and the raven wears my crown [Chorus: powerful gothic darkwave rock chorus] The raven wears my crown above the broken holy ground where the candles drown in blackened rain and the dead still know my name The raven wears my crown while the stars are falling down I am blood, I am night, I am vow and the raven wears my crown [Verse 2: stronger, darker, more dramatic] I kissed the dust of ancient mirrors where my former faces died I drank the storm from silver chalices and kept the wound inside No saint could save my burning heart no prayer could make me kneel I found my truth in shattered glass and taught my scars to feel [Pre-Chorus: full band building] I was not born for daylight I was not made to bow I wear the dark like velvet and the raven wears my crown [Chorus: full emotional gothic rock chorus] The raven wears my crown above the broken holy ground where the candles drown in blackened rain and the dead still know my name The raven wears my crown while the stars are falling down I am blood, I am night, I am vow and the raven wears my crown [Instrumental Break: emotional electric guitar solo, low cello, darkwave synth bass, distant male choir] [Bridge: quiet, ominous, sung and controlled] If you see me in the doorway do not ask me where I’ve been I have slept inside the silence with the wolves beneath my skin If you hear me in the midnight do not call me back to light I have built myself from ruin and I bloom inside the night [Final Chorus: massive gothic darkwave rock climax] The raven wears my crown above the broken holy ground where the candles drown in blackened rain and the dead still know my name The raven wears my crown while the stars are falling down I am blood, I am night, I am vow and the raven wears my crown [Outro: fading cello, raven call, distant organ] I am blood. I am night. I am vow. And the raven wears my crown.
