Common fortune seeks us all

And slips our binding rings

We'll turn our heads and make us reel

We'll bare our arms as wings

Before our feet a feather drifts

Beyond us it will fall

'Cause time will bid and make us rise

Make ravens of us all

My love, he breathed the air of kings

Yet fell beneath his luck

And in his heart a yearning yet

Before his time, time shook

All the gifts that God had given

Owned by fate denied

Gone to where all treasures laid

And where the raven flies

Oh, there are places I agree

Where I'm yet to roam

The Egyptian field, the Arctic Sea

Where shadows haunt and moan

But none but sky I have to go

Should I return to thee

Gone to where the feather flies to eternity

But for a time I got more time till I a raven be

'Cause time will bid and make us rise

Make ravens of us all

And time will bid and make us fly

Make ravens of us all

And time will bid and make us fly

Make ravens of us all
