Author's Note:

I was writing an arrangement of the piano music used in the scene showing the demise of Raven's parents when I decided to add lyrics to it. It's in Raven's voice, and it's what I think he might say if he returned to the ruins of his parents' home.

It definitely loses something without the music, so if you have Finale or another music program that uses Coda Notation files, and would like to see/hear/play the arrangement, I'll send it to you. Just make sure I can find your email somehow (either on your profile, in the designated spot, or in the actual review, if you want). If you have the right programs, I highly encourage you to at least listen to it, if you have the right programs. If not, then just watch that episode, remember the music, and put these words to it.

Thanks, and please review!


The storm clouds gather,
O'er my old home.
You that I once loved,
Entombed deep 'neath the crumbling stones.

I've gone so far now.
Only a shadow of my past,
I often wonder how much longer I can last

In this charade.

This place I visit in my dreams
Has haunted me
For all my life, and for forever,
So it seems.

I fear what I am now,
The ruthless killer I've become,
Now so unlike the child whose life had just begun.

I feel like I have been reborn.
All of my hate, all of my scorn,
Have finally been torn
Away.

So here I stand now,
Before your grave.
I ask forgiveness
For the mistakes that I have made.

I never knew you,
Like I had always wanted to.
But now I see that,
Here at your tomb,

That child can finally start anew.
