Raven
Raben sind kluge Vögel, werden aber auch mit dem Tod in Verbindung gebracht. Schon Edgar Allen Poe hat sich hierzu ein paar Gedanken gemacht, die im folgenden aufgegriffen und weitergeführt wurden. |

| 1. |
When the Raven will appear – Do you think the time is near? Death is knocking on the door – Do you believe in the ancient lore? Raven flies from grave to grave – never think that you are safe. Tells of black death, plague or loss – Or of war that will come across |
| R: | RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - hear the call |
| 2. |
When you look in the Raven’s eye - Do you think you have to die? Is there darkness and nothing more – Or a dream that will come ashore? Raven comes from dusty gloom – foresees nothing but grimly doom. For forgiveness I implore – Raven flies to nevermore! |
| R: | RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - RAVEN - - - - - - hear the call |
| 3. |
Do you know the hourglass of your life is running low – like the morning sun that will melt the winter snow? Is this the time for your final goodbye? – Is this the last moment before you will die? |
| R: |
Hear the Raven cry, hear the Raven cry, hear the Raven cry Ãœbergang Solo: (2x) Ãœbergang |

Black as the night and so dark like the sea – send by the devil, ancient bird broke free With a heart of stone he takes a deep-drawn sigh – For another victim the Raven will fly |
| R: |
Hear the Raven cry, hear the Raven cry, hear the Raven cry Hear the Raven cry |
