Band Members: Lisa Camillo-singer, poetess, guitarist, bass player, drummer; The Ravens-play everything else WHY RAVENS ARE BLACK The raven goes, it never rests, fly away when in danger, smart, dark steals to survive The raven used to be content Wind beneath his white wings Fly high and free Loved life and everyone The world was a great-full place No danger in the horizon Pure soul, pure wind, free spirit The sky was blue, no clouds around Everything was provided to him The sky was limitless and he wanted to reach it He flue above oceans, Rocky mountains, green curvy valleys He wanted to take me with him On the top of his white silky feathers To share the joy a wonderful bright world One day things changed forever A pretty little boy Threw a rock at his candid wing How can somebody would do that? To a happy bird that was flying in the sky? Paranoid, he was scared of everybody Fire, dirt, rain and blood To turn his feathers black To hid himself from harm and pain To avoid turning into somebody’s gain He doesn’t want to take me up there anymore But hide with me Into the darkness with his black shiny feathers 'if you just tune up to me you'll hear my quiet cry you'd hear my loud tiers falling down on my pillow so quietly 1000 souls would hear in a foetal position I rest my tired and aching body softly moving with each sobs If you just quieten up a bit You’ll hear my soft tears Rolling down my cheeks 1000 souls can hear All I needed was you To show me that somebody cared If you just only knew the demons in my head You’d never leave me alone Crying softly in a foetal position If only you just knew the pain of my existence You’d never leave me alone crying in the distance My loved-ones are far away and prefer their version of me My brother wish me dead And I still cry his pain If you only stop and lay down with me You’d hear my loud tears rolling down my cheek So quietly 1000 souls can hear This pain so vast It could cross all oceans, lands and space Since little, I wish I could feel less Like other normal people But empathy for all is too strong And took over my soul Take it away Take it away from me Why do I have to feel more? So I softly cry when nobody’s listening My doomed soul My existence Don’t leave me alone To face the quiet of the night I can’t bear being alone with myself The night for me is longer than for anybody else Sleeping Peacefully quietly'
