Common fortune seeks us all
and slips our binding rings
we'll turn our heads

and make us reel
we'll bare our arms as wings


before our feet a feather drifts
beyond us it will fall
cause time will bid and make us rise

make ravens of us all

My love he breathed the air of kings

yet fell beneath his luck
and in his heart a yearning yet
before his time time shook

all the gifts that God had gave
and those by fate denied
gone to where all treasures laid

and where the raven flies

oh there are places I agree

where I have yet to roam
the Egyptian field
the arctic sea where shadows

haunt and moan
but none but sky
I have to go

should I return to thee
gone to where the feather flies
to all eternity

but for a time I got more time
till I a raven be


cause time will bid and make us rise
make ravens of us all
and time will bid and make us fly

make ravens of us all
and time will bid and make us fly
make ravens of us all
