"Angel in the Dark", the song conveys a sense of inevitability and intimacy with one’s darker side. It’s about confronting what lies beneath the surface—whether it’s shame, desire, or truth—and recognizing that it shapes who you are. The repeated call to "call me" is an invitation to accept this duality rather than fight it, even if it comes at a cost.

[Verse 1]
Call my name when the world’s asleep
In the quiet where shadows creep
Only the night can hear your cries
Only the dark sees through your lies

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll never walk alone
I’m the chill inside your tone

[Chorus]
(Call me) Angel in the dark
(Call me) Whisper in your spark
(Call me) When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
(Call me) You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Verse 2]
In the daylight, I wear your face
In your shadow, I leave no trace
The hunter’s born from the prey you knew
Now every road leads back to you

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll never walk alone
I’m the ache inside your bones

[Chorus]
(Call me) Angel in the dark
(Call me) Whisper in your spark
(Call me) When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
(Call me) You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Bridge]
You can run but I remain
Blood and shadow, soul and stain
I’m the breath inside your prayer
Say my name — I’m always there

No salvation, no release
I am pleasure, I am peace
You were mine before the spark
You belong to the angel in the dark

[Final Chorus]
Angel in the dark
Whisper in your spark
When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Outro]
(Call me...)
Angel in the dark...
(Call me...)
You know my name...

Angel in the Dark

[Verse 1]
For ages I stayed frozen,
Locked inside this sleepless stone.
A fading spark, drifting alone —
I swore I’d never drown your flame.
But now I feel you call my name,
This endless gray begins to fall,
Your quiet fire melts it all.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I feel your ember under my skin,
A hidden fire pulling me in.

[Chorus]
Just like a spark,
You turn my shadows to ashes,
You warm the cold in my veins.
So hold me once more,
I feel my darkness unravel,
Won’t you set me alight in your flame?

[Verse 2]
It’s that fever I can’t outrun,
High like the stars, wild like the sun.
A reckless pull that spins me thin,
It hums so soft, it draws me in.
I’m caught inside this restless ember,
Bound in your spell — I surrender.
Your fire hides deep in my core.
I see it burn in every sign,
We reap the light we choose to find.
I taste your glow across the night.
I know this truth, it carves me clean,
A beast’s wild heart in a dreamer’s scene —
So darling, will you set me free?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I feel this ember waking inside,
Your heat a promise I can’t hide.

[Chorus]
Just like a spark,
You turn my shadows to ashes,
You warm the cold in my veins.
So hold me once more,
I feel my darkness unravel,
Won’t you set me alight in your flame?

[Bridge]
No one can swear what’s written ahead,
Maybe we’re dust in a fleeting dance.
But when I reach for tomorrow’s thread,
I hear your whisper, feel my chance.

[Extended Chorus]
Just like a spark,
You turn my shadows to ashes,
You warm the cold in my veins.
So hold me once more,
I feel my darkness unravel,
Won’t you set me alight in your flame?
Burn me bright beneath this moon,
Carve my name where night is strewn.

[Outro]
So blaze over me — oh, oh-oh,
Blaze over me — oh-oh-oh,
Blaze over me — oh, oh-oh,
Blaze over me — let it roar.
Blaze over me — oh, oh-oh,
Blaze over me — take me whole,
Blaze over me — let it soar,
Blaze over me — forevermore.

I Fight My Own Battles

Find Raven on Spotify

And The Power Chord Was Born

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Before It’s Real

Mind Over Madness

Lyrics 


You are welcome to my nightmare tonight
Say hi to my friend the grave digger in sight
He’s got a great smile it cuts like a knife
And a great bite it’ll steal your life


Shadows creep where the cold winds sigh
Are you ready to run or ready to die


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Coffins whisper secrets below
The graveyard hums with a ghostly glow
He’ll offer a hand but don’t you take
It’s a deal you’ll wish you didn’t make


Tick tock hear the clock it’s late
Grave digger smiles he seals your fate
Laughter echoes in the air so thin
This is where your fears begin


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Welcome to My Nightmare - REMASTERED - HD

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Look in the mirror
Like what you see?
Look in the mirror
Are you really free?

A war for tonight
Two flights to hell
That gutted the city
How the mighty fell

In this sleepless world
Where life runs cold
Where money rules us
Souls bought and sold

Just look in the mirror
Like what you see?
All the pleasures on offer
Are you really free?

You think it's forever
But the day will come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
The souls you traded
The love you sold
Gone in a blink of sound

Beauty buys gifts
It might buy you love
But it can't buy hope
Like the birth of a dove

The apple cursed you
Flame of desire
Heaven watches you burn
In eternal fire

Just look in the mirror
Like what you see?
All the pleasures on offer
Are you really free?

You think it's forever
But the day will come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
The souls you traded
The love you sold
Gone in a blink of sound

They built temples of flesh
Where innocents bleed
We fed our children poison
Called it everything they need
We sold tomorrow for today
Now watch the innocent bleed
Look in the mirror
At the blood on your hands

You thought it was forever
But the day has come
Everything you built
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound

The souls you traded
The love you sold
Your children will curse you
For the choice you made

Look in the mirror
Like what you see?
There's no forgiveness
For what we've become
Gone in a blink of sound
Gone in a blink of sound
Look in the mirror
Like what you see?

Blink of Sound

No matter which side you are on this was messed up and we should be using words not bullets.

What Happened (RIP Charlie)

Album này là sự đúc kết hành trình của tôi bước vào hư vô. Thông qua sự giao cảm với tổ tiên và sự soi chiếu nội tâm sâu sắc. Nó được viết nên từ vô vàn máu và nước mắt khi tôi thấu hiểu lịch sử của nguồn cội. Sự thật ấy đã khiến trái tim tôi tan vỡ, nhưng từ chính những mảnh vỡ đó, tôi tìm thấy nhu cầu phải sáng tạo. Hy vọng rằng âm thanh này sẽ truyền cảm hứng cho tất cả những ai lắng nghe.

Lưu ý: Album này được thiết kế để lắng nghe theo trình tự. Nếu một ca khúc nào đó vô tình tìm đến và chạm vào bạn, tôi mong rằng bạn hãy quay lại và bắt đầu hành trình này từ Màn Một.

yêu tôi ít hơn

[Verse 1]
Asta-i seara luminoasă,
Colindăm din casă-n casă.
Dalbe flori de măr.
Colindăm tot omul bun,
Că îi seara de Crăciun.
Dalbe flori de măr.

[Chorus]
Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.

[Verse 2]
Noi umblăm din poartă-n poartă,
Unde gazdele ne-așteaptă.
Dalbe flori de măr.
Ușa ne-or deschide larg,
Cu drag ne-or primi în prag.
Dalbe flori de măr.

[Chorus]
Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.

[Verse 3]
Se adună la fereastră,
Toți copiii dintr-o casă.
Dalbe flori de măr.
Și vestesc în sus și-n jos,
Că azi s-a născut Hristos.
Dalbe flori de măr.

[Chorus]
Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.

[Verse 4]
Glasuri de colindători,
Vestesc mândre sărbători.
Dalbe flori de măr.
Vestesc că azi s-a născut,
Pruncul Cel făr' de-nceput.
Dalbe flori de măr.

[Chorus]
Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.

[Verse 5]
Nașterea Pruncului Sfânt,
Să vă fie pe pământ.
Dalbe flori de măr.
Bucurie și-alinare,
De la mic până la mare.
Dalbe flori de măr.

Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.

[Outro]
Hai linu-i lin și dalbe flori,
Prin sat vin colindători
Hai linu-i lin și flori de măr.
