- I, CARRION -
Fortuna has never shined her light
She’d rather watch me play the fool
Malice at the end of the spy glass
I see you staring back at me
I will walk this road in henchmen robes
And the sun will not light the way
I’m more ragged than any old corpse
The hourglass runs out for me
No more hope found in desolation
Silver tarnishes in my hands
But still I, Carrion
Carry on this raven song within me
Lead me down so many paths of misery
Carrion these raven wings above me
Lead me down so many paths of misery
I will swing from the hangman’s noose
Sway in the breeze for all to see
So you can see what’s waiting on you
And tonight the stars burn out for me
No more hope found in desolation
Silver tarnishes in my hands
But still I, Carrion
Carry on this raven song within me
Lead me down so many paths of misery
Carrion these raven wings above me
Lead me down so many paths of misery
There was a time before time
That I walked the path of peace
Now I set it alight
No more hope found in desolation
Silver tarnishes in my hands
But still I, Carrion
Carry on this raven song within me
Lead me down so many paths of misery
Carrion these raven wings above me
Lead me down so many paths of misery

Carry on ... Carrion
The desolate of this piece
rings in my ears
Such a torturous lament
I hear vile acoustics
and malice blowing
in the wind ...
And such a beautiful tragedy,
my King ...

I have to admit that the "Carrion/Carry on" wasn't originally my idea. Cradle of Filth actually used in the song "Dirge Inferno." I just borrowed it. But thank you, dearest Devil-Lyn, you kind words mean a lot to me.
