[Intro – single caw + soft drone] Black wings against a silver sky… the omen flies tonight. [Verse 1] Perched upon the gallows beam, Eyes like coals in a winter dream. Feathers whisper in the air, Warning all who wander there. Every step on the forest floor, Echoes where there was no door. In the hush, a voice will fall— Low and cold… the raven’s call. [Pre-Chorus] Three times heard, you can’t turn back, The sky grows dark, the clouds turn black… [Chorus] The raven’s call, sharp and clear, Cuts through the night so all can hear. The raven’s call, deep and true, Carries the fate that’s meant for you. The raven’s call, shadow and flame— Once it speaks, it knows your name. [Verse 2] Moonlight trembles on the leaves, Shadows move like silent thieves. Every heartbeat slows to stone, As if the night would claim its own. Through the branches, far yet near, That cry again, it chills the ear. One last warning, one last stall— Then nothing… but the raven’s call. [Pre-Chorus] Three times heard, you can’t turn back, The sky grows dark, the clouds turn black… [Chorus] The raven’s call, sharp and clear, Cuts through the night so all can hear. The raven’s call, deep and true, Carries the fate that’s meant for you. The raven’s call, shadow and flame— Once it speaks, it knows your name. [Bridge – slow drum + low strings] Feathered prophet, dark and still, Bound by omen, bound by will. If you follow, heed the cost, Every path you take is lost. [Final Chorus – fuller, echoing caws] The raven’s call, sharp and clear, Cuts through the night so all can hear. The raven’s call, deep and true, Carries the fate that’s meant for you. The raven’s call, shadow and flame— Once it speaks, it knows your name. [Outro – distant caw + fading drone] And now… it knows.
