THE RAVEN

Oh, grant me a sinful blend

Of Jack Nicholson and Johnny Depp

Devilish looks to deftly bend

And loosen women’s skirts

Oh, grant me the Joker’s laughter

And the achievement of the winner

Grant me your wicked persona

Sharp and handsome beast

Oh, Raven, black as night

Your back shimmers green

And dreadfully handsome

You soar the night of greed

Songs of dignity and fear

Cloak your nocturnal flight

Ruthless and bold

You take what you can get

Be it a rat or a young bird

Or even a newborn lam

Dead, if not alive,

Or just a shiny thing

But done with style, Raven black

For you are winged night and cunning
