Amongst the Darkest Shades of Night
You can feel the dark in Ravenwood
It lives there amid the trees
Black tendrils reach out like feathers on Raven Wing
Willing to whisk you away into darkness
Never heard
Never seen
Amongst the darkest shades of night
A ghost of thought shivers Behind Blue Eyes
Shuttered from day they heed a warning
Do not stray from the Moonlit Path
It is Nevermore Grey before the light is lost
