I am watching you lovers from so high above
You have little time left, little time left to love
So little time left, so go do all the sweet things
So little time left, it hurts, oh, yes, how it stings
This raven is watching, as this fate does unfold
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
I am watching you both from the top of this tree
You smile and you caw and even call out to me
So little time left, so let your fingers entwine
Say, "I'm yours forever and forever you're mine,"
This raven is watching, as a kissed hand you hold
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
I am watching you both and my claws grip this wood
Say once more, "I love you," oh, yes, really you should
So little time left, that's your destiny; your fate
A bullet is coming, that bullet will not wait
This raven is watching, knowing one won't grow old
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
I am watching you both as I fly down to the ground
You smile and you cluck and you try to speak my sound
So little time, I think, as I hop to your side
No, you won't be a groom and you won't be a bride
This raven is now watching this pearl and her gold
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
So many lovers I have watched until one's death
Seen that one final kiss; that last kind, loving breath
Not much time left before tenderness turns to pain
Before memories like this are all that will remain
This raven is watching, I've a post to uphold
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
So many lovers sense that the other will die
They fight it, of course, and I do understand why
So little time left, it's fate, but still they will fight
They fight with such hope to stay and love in the light
As this raven watches, I stay calm and controlled
I will watch to the end
When one hand will be left cold
So many lovers wait in the dark land of death
Yearning for their beloved to breathe their last breath
So much time for them to wait and such desperate pain
With memories of life overwhelming their brain
This raven watches, it's a sad sight to behold
But I watch to the end
When every hand will grow cold
I am watching you both, knowing one cannot stay
It's my post to take one, take them so far away
I will fly with one's soul over my golden sea
And then I'll return, to sit once more in this tree
As this raven watches, and so dim grows one's spark
Still I'll watch to the end
When they'll learn to love in the dark
