The Raven Sky lyrics

This blood flows thick with the dust of years This vain catharsis of bitter tears This inner sanctum of human hands Can't give me shelter, it will not stand Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come This burden carried, too great to bear This flesh decaying borne of despair This cruel affliction: The raven sky Bring me salvation or watch me die Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come Quell the river's flow, bury me below Take this cup from me, filled with memories Can this life be saved from the silent grave? Tear the raven sky, bring light to these eyes Quell the river's flow, bury me below All that once I desired Take this cup from me, filled with memories Reaching out from the fire Can this life be saved from the silent grave Yearning for me to come to the end? Tear the raven sky, bring light to these eyes Searching for a way out of this hell This blood flows thick with the dust of years This vain catharsis of bitter tears This cruel affliction: The raven sky Bring me salvation or watch me die Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come
