Three Ravens lyrics

A knight has fallen here

He lies beneath his shield

Three ravens fly down wind and sky

To watch and wait

He will never rise

His staring eyes are blind

And above him the ravens sing

At evening down, there came a doe

Through the tall pasture grass

She held her head so high and proud

The tears stood in her eyes

And she cried:

"I have come, I will stay

I have come, I will stay"

She lifted up his head

And kissed his wounds so red

And by his side she wept and died

In bitterness

The racing moon will trace

Their resting place

Till the dawn

When above them

With shining wings

And hungry eyes

The ravens sing
