about

Inspired by The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater
(Possible spoilers through The Raven King)

lyrics

once upon a time they made an unkindness
and they fluttered like black raven wings
deep in the woods the world became giant
they found places to hide and to sing

but all at once
the day became night
and all at once
the nightmares burned bright

we sew ourselves back together
on the boulevard of dreams
the monsters might be bigger but we
still hold the keys
and i may not have the answers
i may not know the way
but this time we’re safe
safe as life

together they became, the stars in the darkness
and they rode like a cavalry of kings
as they all fell in love, their souls became tarnished
they chased stags and impossible things

but all at once
the night gave way to dawn
and all at once
the dreams breathed into song

CHORUS

do you give up your life
do you push them away
do you make room for lullabies
or wait for the day

do you watch from afar
do you wish you were wrong
do you inject your requiem
and deny you belong

after you and i the world fell to silence
and nothing would ever be right
i’ll find you again in the heart of the forest
and i promise the stars will take flight

CHORUS
