Eluveitie - Quoth The Raven Lyrics

Artist: Eluveitie

Album: Everything Remains As It Never Was

Genre: Rock

I am the mystery
And I am the bringer of moonless night
I bear the wisdom arcane
I, harbinger from the burrowed isle

Once you break forth
Hearken the flap of my wings

I haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty
To lead your path
Because I'll take you home to rest
In my black wings enfolding you

I am the icon sublime
The guide on the voyage clandestine
I sing the verses bewailed
I, torch of the radiant way

Once you step out
Hearken the strokes of my wings
Once you will leave your cocoon
I will be there

I haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty
To lead your path
Because I'll take you home to rest
In my black wings enfolding you

"And death will smile his barefaced smile
Initiating your final anguish
It is not before my arrival
That you will be lead to feel
The natural serenity of leaving this world...

Hear my wings caressing the wind
Hear my cry!

I haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty
To lead your path
Because I'll take you home to rest
In my black wings enfolding you

    Wisdom, protection and the guide to a place after death - that's what ravens stand for. Not only in the norse mythology - the native americans, greece, and in so many more old cultures the're considered sacred, or even a god. I feel only hatred when I think about how this beautiful birds reputation was damaged because of the Christianity. Like, 'hey, that bird is holy in all the other cultures! Let's make them evil!' ...

    you and me both :3

  • Nicholas The-fenrir Bond

    I feel the meaning of this song shows a delicate point to such a hated bird. and it tries to show the person in question is a creature that has been shunned from its own meaning and purpose.. sorry I'm a student and love music. plus exams this week.
