lyrics

Oblivion's Gate is yawning wide
Lost shadows dwell in timeless, ageless slumber
With eyes ablaze, they yearn for us
Who're left behind
The Veil is torn apart
The vaults beyond agleam in unlight
The storm is closing in
Riding the gale, I sense her dreadful shadow

Endtime's upon us all
The war to end all strife
The bloodsoaked crow shall rise
And wail her song of sorrow

Chorus:
Her eyes have seen the Unknown
The Raven Lady speaks to me
The living and the unborn
Shall find infinity

The Crow of War
She speaks to me
Morrigu

Fly, oh dreadful shape with wings aspread
Great black bird of ill omen
Her mournful cries disturb the silence
Filled with rage




She heralds war and fire
Nemain and Dagda in her wake
A sisterhood of thricefold terror
To doom us all
Yet urges us to follow

Her eyes like glowing coals
Mirror the funeral pyres
On Raven wings
She brings oblivion's shadow

Chorus

Goddess
Great bird of ill omen
I will ride in your vanguard
To spread word that the time is nigh
In the forests the covens
Leave their ritual fires
And rally round the flag held high
A crusade of redemption
Under heathendom's idols
Fueled by our long suppression's wrath
Clad by Earth and the sky
Filled with vigor and furor
We tread once more the ancient path

I now know the time is right
If I'm to die, I'll greet my fate
For I will follow Mother Crow
Beyond the veil and the Black Gate

Chorus
