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 gave 
And those by fate denied 
Gone to where all treasures laid 
And where the raven flies 

Oh there are places I agree 
Where I have 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 all 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
