Oh black raven, my raven What have You foreseen Dark tidings and woe Rich pickings for death Let the gods wipe my tears With this falling rain Let this lake be my graveside And woods the golden hall
Our braves long since fallen With the tides of the war Our words no more spoken I'm ready to fall
Bare message, my raven To gods this prayer for me Blackbird of the chosen Bare this prayer for me
Oh black raven, my raven Bare message for me Come floser the foe And take my last breath Blackbird of the chosen Bare this prayer for me
