Empty Rooms

Empty Rooms

A Poem by Ravenwing
"

Lyrics. Wrote this recently (the past year or earlier this year (2014), can't remember haha).

"

Verse 1:

There’s a raven that cries ‘Nevermore’

As if I lost a lover Lenore…

In this empty room…empty room.

In this empty room…empty room.

There’s roots that crawl like worms

Across a black sea that swarms…

In this empty room…empty room.

In this empty room…

Empty room!

 

Oh, dear Crow, do not shout death

Oh, dear Dove, give me breath

Angels bring me your wings

As a pure chime rings

Help me fly to His Light

Oh, dear God, save me from this darkest night….

 

Refrain:

Empty rooms are nothing

Decaying leaves

That’s the only something

Suffocating oxygen

Poisonous  gin

Across a snickering grin

 

Oh, Lord, save me from my sin

Overcome this seam

That shines with fake gleam

And carries a corrupt dream

 

Verse 2:

Oh, prodigal son, stop calling me

I am not into thee

In your empty room…empty room.

In your empty room…empty room.

Your beauty is destruction

Lies’ construction

In your empty room…empty room

In your empty room…

Empty room!

 

Oh, dear Crow, stop singing your lullaby

Oh, dear Dove, let not my soul go awry

Jesus, cover me with your blood

Save me from the tempter’s crud

Michael with your sword

Protect me from the dark lord…..

*repeat Refrain*

 

Bridge:

Fantasies galore

Salvia of more

Vanity that beats

Against the heart of heats

 

Yet in this empty room of darkness…

In this blackest night….

A Light shines forth

To clear the dreary skies

 

Once my will and mind is clear,

Whole repentance done

Jesus’s blood stirs in me

To cleanse my sin and vanity

And once again, freedom is won!

 

Conclusion:

So, oh, dear Raven and Crow, you win no more

And oh, dear Dove and Father, thank you forevermore

For though battles of good and evil are many,

Christ’s Sacrifice has victory already

Over our empty rooms…

Empty rooms….
