lyrics

Daughters of fair Venus, can you tell me how it feels?
I guess you’re walking on a razorblade when days close in.
All you are adored for in this world will fade in time,
and you’ll remain like empty shells, without a pearl inside.
Still I’d give eternity of wisdom blessing me
for just one moment of your beauty’s gift.
Walking in the shades I try to hate your emptiness,
but I hear the echoes of my envy for your grace.
I flee stares, afraid of scorn, in loneliness I hide
and dry the tears from my black feathers, a Raven shouldn’t cry.
To be just wise feels like a shame, all my preciousness means pain.
I damn you all, in sadness’ name!
A raven never smiles, I’d rather be the silent one
and turn away my eyes From what I’ll never have...
a Raven never smiles.
Surely you could love the beast and turn my ugliness
Into graceful features to your Cupid-blinded glance.
You could see my nature for what it is and be not scared,
I could trust your voice so warm, but my blackness would remain.
Despite my faith, I’d be afraid that you could turn your eyes
and charming spells could make them blind
A Raven never smiles, would you learn to love my tears and drown into my crying eyes, bathe in sweet sorrow?
‘Cause a Raven never smiles, this grief will never leave my side
Despite all that you tried I’m still in sorrow...
a Raven never smiles.
