Deadly Nightshade, threshold’s venom,
Roots of poison, visions that burn,
Ravens feast on the flesh of slumbering worlds.
Saltatio corvi, dance of the abyss
Wings shred the boundary of time
Ash-born wisdom, steel-forged protection!
I follow your flight, dark oracle
Sage scours the soul, sharp as fire,
Yarrow shields, rends the shadows, Shadows bleed, wings tear the night,
Ravens strike with the whispers of the dead.
Saltatio corvi, dance of the abyss
Wings shred the boundary of time
Ash-born wisdom, steel-forged protection!
I follow your flight, dark oracle
Shadows bleed, wings tear the night,
Ravens strike with the whispers of the dead.
Saltatio corvi, dance of the abyss
Wings shred the boundary of time
Ash-born wisdom, steel-forged protection!
I follow your flight, dark oracle
Sage scours the soul, sharp as fire,
Yarrow shields, rends the shadows,
Ravens hunt the secrets of the forbidden threshold.
Dawn trembles on the edge of bones,
Ravens claim the sky, wisdom in venom,
Saltatio corvi… and the sky rends open
