(Verse 1)
Dust on the window, same as before
But the faces I see aren't here anymore
Just ghosts in the corners, whispers in the hall
From the night that I watched as they stood, and they fell
My life, a debt, a price to be paid
With two bloody skulls and a promise I made
To run, to survive, to learn how to kill
To be what they needed, but the pain's standing still
(Pre-Chorus)
I've seen the world, through a scope and a sight
Moved through the shadows and hunted the night
Six years to the day, I finally came home
Expecting a welcome, but I'm standing alone
(Chorus)
A raven's call in the dead of the night
For a star that fell from the sky, stripped of its light
My friend, my savior, a price for my pain
Another name lost to the blood and the rain
They took you for me, for a debt you didn't owe
And the rage that I feel is a seed they will sow
Requiem for a fallen star, lost to the street
I'll hunt every last one, I'll make sure we meet(Verse 2)
The papers they wrote, the lies that they spun
Said you were a hero, your long race was run
But I know the truth, the reason, the rhyme
You died 'cause of me, you ran out of time
I packed up a bag, with a plan and a plea
But they saw your kindness and killed you for me
Now the ghost in the mirror is all that I see
And the world that you saved is a prison to me
(Pre-Chorus)
I've seen the world, through a scope and a sight
Moved through the shadows and hunted the night
Ten years now I've been running, but I'm not running away
I'm just finding the path to the end of their day
(Chorus)
A raven's call in the dead of the night
For a star that fell from the sky, stripped of its light
My friend, my savior, a price for my pain
Another name lost to the blood and the rain
They took you for me, for a debt you didn't owe
And the rage that I feel is a seed they will sow
Requiem for a fallen star, lost to the street
I'll hunt every last one, I'll make sure we meet
(Outro)
No mistakes, Lady Ravenmur, you hear me, you see?
This debt isn't theirs, it was always on me
And I'll pay it in full, with a fist and a gun
Until every last one of them screams for the sun
