Текст песни
A wise and gloomy herald — staring down at me,
Within his sturdy ebony beak — news for me to see.
I know a heavy choice — is waiting in my way,
For never does he journey — the black raven in vain.
From a different murder — not of common kind,
Life he knows in fullness — from all sides combined.
Low and hoarse his whisper, grim and firm his sight,
I do not fear you, raven — glad we meet tonight.
Black, black raven,
Of life he knows so much.
Black, black raven,
Beyond the veil he's been — death he's touched.
Your gaze I understand now, your counsel I embrace,
Today I felt the answer — coming to this place.
At the crossroads standing — there I met your eye,
So I'll weigh it all again — the against and why.
Away with emotions, my choice I now amend,
Not down that road I might have walked — not toward that end.
Raven, you have helped me — now I clearly see,
Only death awaited — down that path for me.
Black, black raven,
Of life he knows so much.
Black, black raven,
Beyond the veil he's been — death he's touched.
To some — a bringer of misfortune,
To others — an ill-boding sign.
To me — a herald of caution,
No mistaken step of mine.
Black, black raven,
Of life he knows so much.
Black, black raven,
Beyond the veil he's been — death he's touched.
Black, black raven,
Old and wise my friend.
Black, black raven,
You see all in the end.
