No Mercy for a Raven (Raven ft Ravens)

Different feathers, different flights,

Same shadow circling through the night…

John, you think you know me? You don’t.

Calypso… you still owe me.

I whispered in your ear, John, called you brother, called you friend,

Fed you lies in twisted riddles just to pull you to the end.

Dragged you to the fire, told you roads you couldn’t see,

Every Raven that you meet still bleeds the soul of me.

Wanted you a puppet, but you cut the strings too fast,

Now you’re standing in the circle where the dying never last.

Competition ain’t for cowards, boy, I taught you what it means,

But now you’re in my bracket, and I’ll shred apart your dreams.

Raven’s wings don’t break, they burn,

Every soul I touch’s a lesson learned.

Wish in my grip, I’ll pay that cost,

No mercy for the Raven, nothing lost.

Fuck being patient, I’m here in the dirt,

Riding blades through the blood, steel screaming, it hurts.

Didn’t wanna fight you, John, wanted you to fall,

But now you’re in the bracket, I’ma tear down it all.

Ain’t no love in this game, only bullets and ghosts,

I’ll carve my way to victory, I don’t need your toast.

Annoyed that you’re here, boy, but I’ll still take the crown,

I’m the shadow in your rearview when the flames rain down.

Raven’s wings don’t break, they burn,

Every soul I touch’s a lesson learned.

Wish in my grip, I’ll pay that cost,

No mercy for the Raven, nothing lost.

Calypso, you bastard, we go way back,

But you still don’t cut me slack,

Hand on the wheel, I bleed black.

History twisted, secrets buried deep,

You deal in whispers, and I deal in sleep.

I thought knowing you would get me ease,

Instead you tighten chains, won’t let me breathe.

But I’ll get my wish, I’ll make it mine,

Even if it means I gotta cross your line.

Competitor, manipulator, trickster, flame,

Doesn’t matter the mask, it’s always the same.

I’ll kill, I’ll burn, I’ll bleed, I’ll crawl,

Raven’s wish stands above it all.

Raven’s wings don’t break, they burn,

Every soul I touch’s a lesson learned.

Wish in my grip, I’ll pay that cost,

No mercy for the Raven, nothing lost.
