Lyrics Human Fortress

Human Fortress

The Raven

When I look into your eyes

I see them all arise(all arise)

My feathered friend, observer of grief

Dark visions of the past

A horror that will ever, ever last

It is the truth that I can't believe

You have seen so much hate

Growing till it was too late

A manmade hell here on earth

Just when death closes in

Time to confess all their sins

Forced to return the gift - the gift of birth

With silent cries he drifts into the dark

With sorrow in his hear

The time the last light dies

All grace will be denied

The end of our future

When the dark Raven flies

Taking the eyes from the dead

Blinding a blinded head

They couldn't see while they were alive

Watch the reaper's dance

To the score in your bloody hands

A deadly symphony written for gun and knife

With silent cries he drifts into the dark

With sorrow in his hear

The time the last light dies

All grace will be denied

The end of our future

When the dark Raven flies
