The Raven Child Lyrics - Avantasia

Wild groves, sacred grounds fade to vastness 

Mother Moon, cast your spell on these fields 

Let the boughs paint ghostly shades on the trail 

To a different world 

Where the castle looks out to a valley 

Where I'm given all the love that I crave 

Not afraid of the rising sun laying bare my brittle soul 

Cold is the wind 

Bringing forth clarity 

Time rushing on 

And nothing will remain 

There's no glory on the last journey home 

Home

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

Looking down from this pure cope of heaven 

Onto an ocean of white 

That drowns all the noise and decree 

And the craze in empty eyes 

Wide-eyed I'm lost in my imagination 

A dream of love I've got to suffocate while I keep on waiting 

For the hour I'll be called to realize 

And see it all before my eyes 

The sky is crawling down the mound 

Into the deadwood on the ground 

They say 

Spectres flare and spit and rise 

To mingle with the skies 

And take all that's never meant to be 

Photos 

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way 

Gonna run and never get away 

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment? 

Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? 

A lonely heart in and endless line 

Oh raven child 

Raven child 

Bewildering and strange 

The scent of spring and cherry blossoms 

Sweet scent of rain 

They're calling you 

Astounding how it is 

Not the same it used to be 

When you're compelled behind the crenel on your own 

The tolling of the bell 

Is there anyone to tell me what they wanna say 

Voices go on and on and on to me 

But their tongues won't permeate throughout my soul 

In your altered state of mind 

In vain you're chasing light, yeah 

Your master in his frown 

Denial of the crown of creation 

You're mad to think you are 

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way 

Gonna run and never get away 

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment? 

A fire in the dark for the fool's gonna find his way 

Gonna run and never get away 

Is it love that glows in fiery alignment? 

Starry-eyed, maybe living a lie? 

A lonely heart in and endless line 

Light breeze in the crowns of the willows 

Green fields as if the day was on the wane 

Grow faint and attain to perfection 

What a backdrop for a diamond 

And so we sway in the wind like the willow 

Meant to give way to the order of the storm 

Won't leave a mould in the marsh of the ages 

A tired chevalier of fortune 

Blue and serene once a sky swanned on magic 

The unborn in the stream of destiny 

Time flows to become a mound of nothing 

For a broken soldier of fortune 

On my 

Comin' down 

Goin' all the way now 

You won't get away 

You know 

Finally the way you're shown 

You're goin' now 

Comin' down 

Goin' all the way now 

You won't get away 

You know 

Finally the way you're shown 

You're goin' now 

Comin' down 

Goin' all the way now 

You won't get away 

You know 

Finally the way you're shown

You won't get away

Finally the way you're shown 

You're goin' now 

Comin' down 

Goin' all the way now 

You won't get away 

You know 

Finally the way you're shown 

You're goin' now 

Into the light 

In the light there's a crack torn open 

From underneath the day 

In the light, but a crack, is it growing? 

Feel the dark rolling in, your way 

Feel the light look away 

It's gonna blind you 

Ignite your spirits fly 

See a light to uncloak their master 

To arouse the beaten mind 

In the light there's a crack torn open 

From underneath the day (You dream and fly) 

In the light, but a crack, is it growing? 

Feel the dark rolling in your way (Hey raven child) 

Feel the light look away 

It's gonna blind you 

Ignite you spirits fly 

Uncloak the raven master 

To arouse the beaten mind 

You tuck away yourself inside 

You ride away on the inmost light 

Your soul glowing opal-blue 

A million voices fade away 

I never really got what they're trying to say 

For my words there's no getting through 

Oh, you sail to the night's plutonian shore 

You drift to sleep, you can't take no more of this 

And like a raven child 

You spread your paltry wings and throw 

Yourself into the wind to escape from all below 

That despised the raven child 

Am I awake or is it an evil dream 

Or maybe the ugly in between 

Like me... a weak hermaphrodite 

A burning soul in unimpaired parts 

In quest for light but it was the dark 

That embraced the raven child 

A cloak of invisibility 

To curtain the fate of deformity, no 

Darkness let me in 

Off to the night's plutonian shore 

You dream and hope you won't wake no more to this (Oh fiery eyes) 

Flying raven child (Oh fiery eyes) 

Flying raven child 

Oh to escape from all below 

Spread your wings and go 

Like a raven child
