Oh Raven who was solid black
Your color has faded and now you lack
Oh Raven you were once a pretty bird
You’d caw and cackle to be heard
Oh Raven you were so absurd

Oh Raven you were never in a cage
You flew around freely everyday
Oh Raven to pull out your feathers
Would certainly be my greatest pleasure
Oh Raven your pain I will treasure

Oh Raven I want to pluck you bald
And boil you alive in alcohol
Oh Raven far up in the sky
I’d break your wings so you can’t fly
Oh Raven I wish you would die

Oh Raven there was a price to pay
For building nests so far away
Oh Raven one shot has brought you down
Now you’re lying helpless on the ground
Oh Raven will never make another sound
