lyrics

Rain made a door for him
And he went through it
Stone made a throne for him
He ruled upon it
Lightning wrote on the sky
And he read it
Thought arose in the hills
His mind contained it

Magic appeared on the earth
When he spoke it
His dream contained us all
Black tower rising tall
Banished winter
Vanished moon
Between the Other Lands
And the world of men

He came to them out of mists and rain
He came to them in dreams at midnight
He came to them in a northern sky at dawn

Starling, the Raven King
Ruler of the North
Argent, raven volant
Purposeful, terrifying
Thought arose in the hills
His mind contained it
Stone made a throne for him
He ruled upon it

He came to them out of mists and rain
He came to them in dreams at midnight
He came to them in a northern sky at dawn

In winter the barren trees
Made a black writing on the sky
A flock of ravens filled the air
In a northern sky …
