Raven in the Dark Lyrics

I feel it's closing in
In an aura of cold
Like the spirit of a damned
It haunts me
Like a raven in the dark

Desperate I run
Through neverending rooms
Every door I see is locked
And I know I must

Find a hideaway to conceal my pain
Run to hide myself
Like a child in shame

Now I know that I must find haven
Before it crushes me against the ground
Numb with the fright only hate I feel
Not even knowing what is there behind me

I see others die beside me
Faces hiding in the shade
Creeping in pain they praise me
For a helping hand to lend

I feel it's still behind me
The cold frozens my bones
Like the spirit of a damned
It haunts me
Like a killer in the night

I wanted my skin turned to iron
But only my heart turned to stone
Now I cry like a newborn
Someday I'll smile like a child

Now all I had is lost
Forgotten far behind
Ashes where once was silver
Embers where once was gold

No helping hand for the creeping
No gentle words for the ones left behind
Not even a glance
For the faces hiding in the shades
