Evil, Dark, Grotesque

Find Raven on Spotify!

"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

Better Start Digging

Riff-heavy. Rage-fuelled. Real.
This track is a battle cry for the broken, the unheard, the ones who see through the lies. From blood money to corrupt courts, we call it out—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic.

Say It Again (feat. The Rasmus)

This World Is Ours

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Trapped beneath the surface, cradling my sorrow
I keep seeing patterns of a new tomorrow
Bargaining with muses, keeping ghosts at bay
Trying to remember how I lost my way

Gasping for salvation, sparks of sympathy
Hoping that, come daylight, they can set me free
Crafting odes to silence, I stand beyond the pale
When I invite my audience to watch me as I fail

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

[Verse]
Seeking your attention was never worth the cost
'Cause I keep having nightmares since our paths last crossed
But promise you'll remember how I made you wait
While I was busy wallowing in misery and hate

I wield these words like weapons, but they were never mine
Now I'm so sick of fighting, (just show me a sign)
I am not asleep here, nor am I awake
I don't want to fade, (with every step I take)

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

[Bridge - In Romanian]
Frântă-mi tace mintea-n palme, inima mi-o port
Prinsă-n cuie pe sub pielea albă ca de mort
Clipa-n valuri se destramă, sângele mi-e viu
Visele îmi sunt capacul negrului sicriu

Gândurile-mi stau alături prinse de fotoliu
Muzele așteaptă-n patul camerei de doliu
Dintr-o dată năvălit-au fluturi în stomac
Într-o baltă de cerneală lasă-mă să zac

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

Hollow

Goodbye

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

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

Rub your hands together, feel the static rise
Cast your spell on broken dreams and alibis  
With your wicked ways, you're digging deeper down
Trading everything to wear that golden crown

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

In the neon glow where devils make their deals
Pretty faces hiding how the darkness feels
Built your empire on a foundation made of lies
Now you're staring at the fire in the skies

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

Here today, gone tomorrow
Time to burn it all down
Watch your kingdom die

A chariot on fire, tearing through your house of cards
To the Babylon tower where your empire turns to ash
A chariot on fire, coming for your soul tonight
Your kingdom's burning down, you lose it all

There's still time for redemption
Choose your side before it's gone

It’s just in my head
Pages in Clouds 2025


It’s just in my head, don’t try to break in,
I’m floating alone where the quiet begins.
Colors and sounds, spinning through my mind,
A little lost, a little free, leave the world behind.

It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,


It’s just in my head,

I’m okay, I’m away, in my own space,
Keep your distance, don’t invade this place.

Stay away from me, I’m just in the vibe,
Drifting through thoughts where I come alive.
No need for noise, no need for fight,
I’m okay, I’m away, I’m feeling right.

It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,


It’s just in my head,
Lights flicker soft, echoes in my head,
Dancing with shadows, nothing to dread.
The world can wait, I’ve got my own flow,
In this bubble, I move slow.

I’m okay, I’m away, in my own space,
Keep your distance, don’t invade this place.

Stay away from me, I’m just in the vibe,
Drifting through thoughts where I come alive.
No need for noise, no need for fight,
I’m okay, I’m away, I’m feeling right.
It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,


It’s just in my head,

Let me drift, let me spin, let me fade,
I don’t need you to invade this parade.
In my head, I’m free, I’m alive,
Just riding the waves, just in the vibe.

Stay away from me, I’m just in the vibe,
Drifting through thoughts where I come alive.
No need for noise, no need for fight,
I’m okay, I’m away, I’m feeling right.

It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,


It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,

It’s just in my head,


It’s just in my head,
