[Verse 1]
I saw blood beneath the pillows
I saw blood beneath the sheets
I saw blood upon the handle of the door
I saw blood amongst the dollies
I saw blood upon the skirt
I saw blood stick on the token on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
No way back out
No saving grace
No way back out for you from here
From this sullen lonely place

[Chorus]
But here in the raven's heart
Your heart is beating on
I ween that you are better where you are
You're here in the raven's heart
No matter where you've gone
I'm sure that you are there among the stars

[Verse 2]
I saw hope in all your poems
I saw hope in all your tears
I saw hope beside your overwhelming hurt
I saw hope in all your colors
I saw hope in all your black
I saw gold that needed brushing off the dirt

[Pre-Chorus]
No way back out
No saving grace
No way back out for you from here
From this sullen lonely place

[Chorus]
But here in the raven's heart
Your heart is beating on
I ween that you are better where you are
You're here in the raven's heart
No matter where you've gone
I'm sure that you are there among the stars

[Bridge]
Bon voyage
Bon voyage
Bon voyage

[Chorus]
Here in the raven's heart
Your heart is beating on
I ween that you are better where you are
You're here in the raven's heart
No matter where you've gone
I'm sure that you are there among the stars
