The stranglers the raven lyrics

Fly straight with perfection 

 Find me a new direction 

 You never realised the things they said 

 We'll never realise until we're dead 

  

 The fires they burned along the coast of triumphs 

 The ebony embittered souls of children 

 We'll seek another way before too long 

 But will you stop my wind before I'm gone 

  

 And when you find me all alone 

 Your world has never been my own 

  

 And when you find me 

 And when you find me all alone 

 Your world has never been my own 

  

 My f riend you're black and when you fly you're wild 

 I am white sometimes I behave just like a child 

 The nothern seas are cold but they're our own 

 We'll sail your southern seas before too long 

  

 When I was a viking 

 My friend he was the raven
