Raven's child
Is chasing
salvation
Black beak turned white
From the crack and the snow
On the streets of
despair
The answer is simple
A spoonful of mercy
Can set free the soul
The drug
king sits
On his arrogant throne
Away and above and apart
Even children
Are twisted
to serve him
And greed has corrupted
What once was a heart
Raven's child
Keeps
vigil for freedom
Trades for the arms
That once made her strong
With nuclear
warheads
And lasers in heaven
fear does the choosing
Between right and
wrong
The arms king sits
On his arrogant throne
Away and above and
apart
Bankers assure him
That he needn't care
And greed makes a stone of
What once
was a heart
Raven's child
Is washing the water
All of her
wing-feathers
Blackened with tar
Prince William shoreline's
An unwanted highway
Of
asphalt and anger
An elegant scar
The oil king sits
On his arrogant throne
Away
and above and apart
Lawyers have warned him
He mustn't speak
And greed has made
silent
What once was a heart
You know there are walls
That come tumbling
down
For people who yearn to be free
Still there are hearts
That long to be
opened
And eyes that are longing to see
Raven's child is our constant
companion
Sticks like a shadow
To all that is done
Try as we may
We just can't
escape him
