Looking for those dwelling here in poverty and crime I'm offering a way to end your sorrows for all time All you have to do is leave the ones you love behind I promise at the place we go, a better life to find
Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
You know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake You must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky This my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die (Not yet, stay with me)
Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [2x] Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
[Instrumental break]
You crawl into the empty halls' enclosing haze of sleep It's reaping for millennia, your souls it longs to keep Immured alive in solid walls, this place never stops to grow The secret locked in Ravenhead nobody'll ever know (Nobody'll ever know)
Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [2x] Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
