A raven, a raven is flying overhead and
I feel hopeless, hopeless in this place
Sometimes I feel I'd be better off dead, ooh
Sometimes I feel I'd be better off dead, ooh
I'm falling apart
With the rising and the falling of my heart
I cannot bear the inadequacy
Ooh, I have heard to look up when
You need a sign but I can't see
I can't fight my demons anymore
I'm pounding at the door
Oh who will heal me, am I too late
Where I long to be is in your arms, ooh
Help, where do I turn
I'm desperate to find the strength to learn
I'm losing hope in resisting temptation
Ooh, in the dark I can't find
You, shine your light 'cause I can't see
I can't fight my demons anymore
I'm pounding at the door
Oh who will heal me, am I too late
As I watch the raven spread its wings
It keeps its eyes on me and won't let me get away
Where I long to be is in your arms, ooh
A raven, raven is flying overhead and
I feel hopeless, hopeless in this place
Sometimes I feel I'd be better off dead
When I go to sleep I don't want to wake up
Don't want to wake up, don't want to wake up
When I go to sleep I don't want to wake up
Who will heal me
I can't fight my demons anymore
I'm pounding at the door
Who will heal me, am I too late
The raven spreads its wings
It keeps its eyes on me and won't let me get away
Where I long to be is in your arms, ooh

singer/songwriter element to alternative metal music. She has powerfully and effectively established her own unique sound by presenting her signature vocal prowess at the forefront while incorporating her classical and orchestral influences with heavy, melancholic undertones....more
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
Trading majestic drone for smoldering assaults, the iconic Japanese outfit rekindle the leaden aggression of their early period. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2020
