Queen Of Ravens Lyrics

I was young when we first met

Under the starlight veil of night

I laid in bed, dreamcatcher set

The mind in sleepless flight

When from worlds unseen, your grating call

Sent shivers down my spine

"I'm the Raven Queen, I have you in thrall

One day your life will be mine"

I told her "I still have so much to give

Oh merciful queen, let me live

Oh I know someday you will come for me

Queen of Ravens, let me be"

I countdown my life, afraid to depart

The days, the weeks, the springs

I lay still and cry when my beating heart

Makes the sound of your beating wings

One night I cried "Stop pestering me

This life of mine is not a game

You crown yourself with misery

You monarchs are all the same"

"The debt of each day must be paid in rest

Go watch over your own nest

I know someday you will come for me

Queen of Ravens, let me be"

From the looming shadows of the room

A wicked grin came into view

"Oh how foolish can you be to presume

That I'm just here for you"

Ever since that night, feathers were strewn

Across the bed and floor

Will everyone I ever loved

Hear the words "Nevermore"

Life isn't meant to be ruled by fear

But the end is always near

"I know someday you'll come for me

Queen of Ravens, let me be"

How many times will I get to hold

My friends, my family

For still to this day, as I grow old

The Raven Queen holds onto me
