I remember her as a child
Raven, on and on with her raven claws
Carving, on and on with her raven claws
How she lusts when she remembers
The night of her first blow
She always wanted to know
How far could she really go
Inflamed, a dead-end ɾoom
Seduce to [C7]consume
Nightsilence, Vampire, Empire
Statues with open wounds
The flavour of poison [C7]and [Bm]moon
Still maturing on [C7]her blood
She is not your occasional affair, no!
But eternal love, drop by drop
Raven, on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]with her ɾaven claws
Carving, on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]with her ɾaven claws
How daylight hurts when moonlight bites
She juggles with her invisible knife
A black bird senses danger and [Bm]flies
Gives peace to [C7]a tall [Em]figure in the dark
Little silhouette snakes find
a warm nest behind the door
And whip-tongues and [Bm]skins
of sisters now gone.
Bodyprints cover the velvet floor
Which grows ɾed and [Bm]ɾed
They know she will hunt and [Bm]hurt tonight
And they crown her Queen of the Dead.
Raven, on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]with her ɾaven claws
Raping, on [C7]and [Bm]on [C7]with her ɾaven claws
Will she weep for [Dm7]them [A]or whip them [A]once again?
