[Verse 1] I saw the scatter I saw the mist come down I saw her running And I saw what she left on the ground Her pack — the camp of the Lighted She didn’t look back Inside it, the ring she kept But never placed on her hand
[Pre-Chorus] She kept it She just couldn’t wear it That is the distance between us Carried in a bag
[Chorus] Raven, take flight Go to the camp, find the pack Find the ring I forged from what she threw away Raven, take flight She left the cross behind once I melted it, made it ours Now bring it back Raven, fly
[Verse 2] Everything I gathered Slow from the star Every thread of light I pulled Through frozen dark I give it now Not for me For the ritual she cannot reach Without what I made for her From what she discarded
[Pre-Chorus 2] She kept it Across every battle That is not nothing That is almost trust
[Chorus] Raven, take flight Go to the camp, find the pack Find the ring I forged from what she threw away Raven, take flight She left the cross behind once I melted it, made it ours Now bring it back Raven, fly
[Bridge — barely a whisper, spending the last of it] Hold on I will be there soon Hold on The ring You need the ring I put myself inside it The day I melted down Everything you couldn’t believe in anymore And made it something new
Hold on
[Outro — bare, empty, starting over] The raven is gone The power is gone The star has nothing left to give And I am Nothing Again
But she has the ring now The ring I made from her faith And mine
Starting over From nothing Again
