Lyrics
They die with prayers still stuck between their teethI collect those half-spoken words and turn them into wingsEvery battlefield becomes my banquet hall at duskWhere broken swords are melted down to fill my royal cup
The stronger they once stood, the sweeter is their fallI taste their final courage like the finest wine of allNo gods above can stop me when the ravens start to callTheir heaven cracks the moment that my shadow covers all
Raven queen! I spin their endings into thread!Every hero’s dying scream becomes the crown upon my head!They fought for glory, I collect the glory they forgetThe raven queen decides whose story ends in regret!
Kings once offered kingdoms just to keep my gaze awayNow their empty helmets decorate the walls where ravens playTheir queens still whisper curses from the graves I never sealedBut even curses turn to music when my hunger needs a meal
One wing for the liarOne wing for the braveAll wings bring me higherOn the backs of the slain
Feast until the sky turns blackRaven queen will never give them back
Let the living keep their sunlight, let them keep their foolish prideI prefer the taste of endings — it’s the only truth that never lied
Raven queen! I weave their deaths into my endless night!Every soul that falls becomes another spark of my dark light!They fought for glory, I collect the glory they forgetThe raven queen decides whose story ends tonight!
The feast is endless.The queen is satisfied.
