Raven

Verse 1

I was born where the cold wind bites,

Raised by storms and sleepless nights.

Every wound became a blade,

Every debt was fully paid.

They threw stones and called it fate,

Tried to lock me behind a gate.

But iron bends and chains decay,

And I learned how to walk away.

Pre-Chorus

I have danced with grief,

I have buried fear.

The darkness knows my name,

I’ve worn its crown for years.

Chorus

I’m the raven on the battlefield,

Black wings spread, I never yield.

Every scar is armor plated,

Every loss has elevated.

So tread lightly where I stand,

Ashes still cling to my hands.

I survived what should’ve killed me clean.

Now they whisper of the Ravens scream

Verse 2

I’ve watched kingdoms rise and fall,

Seen the mighty crawl and crawl.

I’ve stood alone when crowds would run,

Faced ten thousand and feared none.

The fire came, I fed the flame.

The wolves came, I learned their game.

The world tried carving out my heart,

Instead it forged a sharper part.

Pre-Chorus

I am not revenge,

I am consequence.

A lesson carved in bone,

A monument to endurance.

Chorus

I’m the raven on the battlefield,

Black wings spread, I never yield.

Every scar is armor plated,

Every loss has elevated.

So tread lightly where I stand,

Ashes still cling to my hands.

I survived what should’ve killed me clean.

Now they whisper of the Ravens scream

Bridge

Cross me if you choose to try.

Many have beneath this sky.

Their names are dust, their echoes thin.

I remain. I always win.

Not because I’m cruel or cold,

But because I cannot be controlled.

The storm they feared became my skin.

And every ending fed the strength within.

Final Chorus

I’m the raven above the reckoning,

The sound of ancient warnings beckoning.

Not a victim, not a ghost,

I’m the thing survivors become the most.

So when the shadows start to lean,

Remember what they’ve always seen:

A woman forged in fire unseen.

A woman crowned by everything.

A woman no one should dare cross.
