Ode to the Court of Ravens
From the void that beckons,
we see that heaven's near,
but the darkness that engulfs us
keeps our cries from shedding tears
The rain would fall and cleanse the Earth
so the people praised it well
The castle walls had heard its song
right as midnight struck its bell
But when she cast infinity
the rain hadn't had its fill
so sadly clouds were forced to flee
yet the days grew*
darker still
Pluck the wings of ravens
to prevent the coming flood
The ones who offer haven
let their fingers run with blood
The Court was born to trim the herd
who swear to Ravenswood
They seek the one ill-fated girl
to restore our land for good
'Cause when she cast infinity
the Earth was standing still
Her soul can harm eternity
as the days grow
darker still
Believers of their noble cause
shall be met with open arms
They only seek to halt the pause
by the grace of love and harm
Putrid souls are sacrificed
for the weakness that they show
The Court shall welcome crimson tides
as their looming shadows grow
'Cause when she cast infinity
it was nature that she killed,
but now the Court will set us free
Advent days are
*
brighter still.
Prologue to a multi-part series I wrote.
