Killing Joke
The Raven King
[Verse 1]
The raven's flown and left the tower
And Albion feels all abandoned
A desecrated cenotaph, surveillance state and waning choices
Guarded by warriors we knew
Guided by our ancestral voices
[Verse 2]
Let flags of black and red unfurl
Echoes of distant laughter
Confederation of the dispossessed
Fearing neither God nor master
[Chorus]
Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call, never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King
[Verse 3]
Forever in this moment
Rejecting those who would control us
Touched by a common genius
All bound by fate and common purpose
[Chorus]
Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call, never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King
[Post-Chorus]
All our lives transformed
Touched forever more
All connected
All as one
[Verse 4]
Spirit of resistance haunt us once again
Your restless call for this defiance
Let sorrow turn to anger in your name
Carpe nocturna, seize the night now
[Chorus]
Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call, never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King
[Outro]
Brother of this wretched man
I heed your call, never giving in
Watching from his perch bemused
I see him now
The spectre of the Raven King
