lyrics

When the Raven Sings

What else can you whisper in my aching ear
As you say no trick was played to get me here
But you dangle your golden cage
In an attempt to tempt my fate
Cuz I lust for something new to trust
At the end of the day
Most of my learning takes place
After midnight now as I go off and lose my voice
At least that’s how it sounds

(refrain)
Now that you know where you’re going
Can you see you’re getting to me
And I’ll find you in everything
Especially when the raven sings

As far as I can see I’m on my way down
Won’t you keep my head in the clouds but keep
My ear to the ground I’ve been searching for signs
I can’t hear nor see through propaganda so thick
It’s like a Hitler symphony
Where everybody stands with their mirror in hand
They only want to understand you
After you end up like them

(refrain)

I have no explanation for the ways I’ve felt
Just that when I can’t turn to anyone else
I turn on myself
Now your eyes can see what my tongue can’t tell
I can’t show you what I want
I can’t show you to yourself

(refrain)

Hush little baby don’t say a word
Mamma’s going to buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird
If she can’t sing
The raven’s going to take you under it’s broken wing
Until you’re hearing melodies in air raid sirens
It’s the song of sadness that gets stuck in our heads now
