Raven
Jaguar Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raven, she quoth to me
Forever more you'll stand by me
Never more, will I adore, to see you with my enemy

The sound, the fire, the dark, the pyre
I stand upon your corpse, now silenced
I left you there upon the ground
So long ago I have been found
So now I look upon your grave
To all the hours, to you I gave
Back then we fought, but now I'm here
Our history gone, no voice I hear

Mercury runs thorugh my veins
Ravens fly across the plains
The days of light are now long gone
Into a black embrace we walk
My heart still burns for you my dear
My soul growns cold with endless years
I see you neck, smooth flesh appeals
Into your neck, my teeth you feel

Raven she quoth to me
Forever more you'll stand by me
Never more, will I adore, to see you with my enemy

You are like me, come closer now
No one else would I allow
To join me in this hollow life
You make feel like I'm alive
No mirror will you see me in
Blood drawn out from deep within
Pictures taken, times long gone
Forever more, we will live on

Raven, she quoth to me
Forever more you'll stand by me
Nevermore will I adore to see you with my enemy

Raven
Fly across the plains
Raven




Flying, dark, fast, and sharp
Over the mountains.
