(Intro) (Thumping, tribal drums, A discordant, echoing electric guitar joins in with a shimmering, sharp riff) (Verse 1) Black feathers in the morning light A, c, c, a, c, c, a—a cold delight! She gathers sticks in the jagged wood Understands what you misunderstood Screeching violet, a painted eye Watching the heavy, falling sky (Pre-Chorus) (Bassline becomes hypnotic and loud) Oh, the city is a, is a, is a—a killing jar! She’s taking it back, she’s taking it far! (Chorus) (Vocals become operatic and dramatic with heavy vibrato) Raven! Witch! Crowned in the shadow’s pitch! She steals your breath, oh, she’s a—a sudden switch! Fly! Fly! Watch the feathers—they fry! Raven Witch, she’s taking the sky! (Verse 2) She speaks in riddles of broken glass Watch the innocent, watch the, watch the—the shadows pass A thousand curses, full speed ahead! She’s knitting a scarf from a tangled thread Of forgotten names and broken vows She wears the moon upon her brows (Chorus) Raven! Witch! Crowned in the shadow’s pitch! She steals your breath, oh, she’s a—a sudden switch! Fly! Fly! Watch the feathers—they fry! Raven Witch, she’s taking the sky! (Bridge) (Music slows, becoming sparse and haunting, high vocal melody) It doesn’t kill you… But it makes you— it makes you— it makes you— (Shriek/high-pitched cry) WISH! (Drum build-up increases rapidly, Guitar Solo, Angular, shrieking guitar) (Chorus) Raven! Witch! Crowned in the shadow’s pitch! She steals your breath, oh, she’s a—a sudden switch! Fly! Fly! Watch the feathers—they fry! Raven Witch, she’s taking the sky! (Outro) (Vocals become repetitive and manic) Nevermore, she said, she said, she said… Nevermore… Raven Witch… Raven… (Sudden cut-off on a drum fill)
