Intro
F#m E C#m D E F#
[Verse 1]
F#m E C#m
I heard the cries of an orphan
D E F#
Mourning the passing of time
F#m
I felt pain
E C#m
Seep from the blood's absolution
D E F#
Bled once by wonders divine
F#m
I am amazed
E C#m
Left in the ruins of greatness
D E F#
And I'll keep their nightmare alive
F#m
Fighting in vain
E C#m
We are the fiends in the shadows
D E F#
And I am the beast that survived
[Chorus]
E F#
Here come the ravens
F#m D
To take what is mine
D
Their watching eyes
E Bm
Waiting for the rest of me to die
E F#
Here comes the reaper
F#m D
That hides from the light
D
Still hunting for
E Bm
The heart that's still beating inside
E D E F#
For these ravens to find
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
D E F#
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
[Verse 2]
F#m E C#m
Tossed in a well long forgotten
D E F#
The duty I had to fulfill
F#m
I can't remember
E C#m
Why I became a lost dreamer
D E F#
For vengeance, or for the next kill
F#m
Locked in a tower
E C#m
I'll cut away what I've done
D E F#
From the rest of the dreamers outside
F#m
Cursed in a portrait
E C#m
Made of this hunter's regrets
D E F#
Of the mother I drowned in the tide
[Chorus]
E F#
Here come the ravens
F#m D
To take what is mine
D
Their watching eyes
E Bm
Waiting for the rest of me to die
E F#
Here comes the reaper
F#m D
That hides from the light
D
Still hunting for
E Bm
The heart that's still beating inside
E D E F#
For these ravens to find
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
D E F#
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
[Verse 3]
F#m E
Weep for the master that made me
C#m D E
And the raven that heard my last breath
F#m F#
Long have the hunters pursued me
E D E
And tonight I'm your angel of death
F# D
Fire, blood, and desire
E
Lost in the mire
D E
In desolation
F# D
Lies, all of us die
E
And even now, I
D E
F#m left to the ravens
[Alt. Chorus]
E F#
Here come the ravens
F#m D
To bury my pride
D
They're hunting me
E Bm
And trails of my sorrow behind
E F#
Here comes the new blood
F#m D
Where secrets should lie
D
To find rest
E Bm
Where dreamers and beasts go to die
[Chorus]
E F#
Here come the ravens
F#m D
To take what is mine
D
Their watching eyes
E Bm
Waiting for the rest of me to die
E F#
Here comes the reaper
F#m D
That hides from the light
D
Still hunting for
E Bm
The heart that's still beating inside
E D E F#
For these ravens to find
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
D E F#
D E C#m E
(Here come the ravens)
[Outro]
F#m E C#m
I heard the cries of an orphan
D E F#
Mourning the passing of time
F#m
I felt pain
E C#m
Seep from the blood's absolution
D E F#
Bled once by wonders divine
