[RAVEN’S BLACK EYE] [Intro – single piano note, distant raven call, low cello drone, enormous room echo] Midnight… No moon. Only one eye watching from the roof. Black as the silence… Raven’s black eye. [Verse 1 – low intimate female vocal, sparse piano] He sits above the city, where the silver windows glow. Watching lovers make their promises, watching strangers come and go. He never asks for answers, he never needs a name. He knows the shape of every secret, he remembers every face. [Pre-Chorus – muted trumpet enters, cello slowly rising] You can close your curtains… You can turn away… But shadows have a memory… And ravens never forget. [Chorus – dark female harmonies, slow jazz pulse] Raven’s black eye… Looking through the night. Raven’s black eye… Nothing hides from sight. Black feather, black sky, one cold moon in a velvet night. Raven’s black eye… Watching you tonight. [Verse 2 – upright bass, brushed drums, piano echoes] He saw the hand that let go, he saw the heart that lied. He saw the tears behind the laughter, he saw the truth you kept inside. No photograph can capture what his silent eyes have seen. No golden frame can hold it, no screen can make it clean. [Bridge – almost complete silence, cello + whispered vocal] Don’t look up… Don’t ask why… Some truths don’t need a witness. Some shadows… have their own eyes. [Long instrumental pause] Caw… [Muted trumpet + cello + distant piano] One eye… Two wings… No mercy. [Final Chorus – wider harmonies, deep cathedral reverb] Raven’s black eye… Looking through the night. Raven’s black eye… Nothing hides from sight. Black feather, black sky, one cold moon in a velvet night. Raven’s black eye… Still watching from the height. [Outro – solitary piano, raven call disappearing into echo] Midnight… No moon… Only one eye. Still awake. Mmmmm…
