Ravenstag - Halia Meguid

   (CAPO 3)
Am                                 E
blue as night, the ravenstag was flying
        E                                  Am
as you plucked the hyde, the beast stood crying
            Dm                                  Am
was it ever not enough to torment enough, cried out the blood in the veins
        E                          Am
of the ravenstag who told me your name

       Am                                 E
i've started dreaming the most peculiar pictures
     E                                 Am
the blacks and whites and colors are richer
                 Dm                              Am
did you feel it kind enough, yes kind enough to plant the seed in my brain
        E                        Am
of the ravenstag whispering your name

Am                                   E
vulgar fruit, it gleams like vulgar diamonds
   E                  Am
a picture of my own designing
                      Dm                                         Am 
wish they'd said, "beware the signs, the meats and wines of the velvet joy and the pain
        E                 Am
of the ravenstag when he calls your name"

Am                            E
come into my parlor says the spider
         E                                        Am
close my eyes, the space between heartbeats grows wider
              Dm                              Am
maybe i'm not brave enough or sane enough to steady the knife of the gaze
        E                          Am
of the ravenstag as it whispers my name

Am
Am                                   E
morning's come and the ravenstag's behind me
       E                            Am
i'm a crimson stain and no wind can dry me
         Dm                               Am
is an enemy enough to keep the love of a monster that swallows and maims
          E                     Am
the same ravenstag who knows my name?
