The Battle Raven
Words and Music by Catt Kingsgrave-Ernstein - One of the best battle songs I have ever heard,
and this one especially for women! Catt performed this song with her band, The Ravens.This is a powerful song, with strong imagery... so strap on the bardly armor and sing it from the heart!
Am Dm Am
I am one sword out of many, I am one face out of three
Am F E7
The Maiden, Crone and Mother stand united within me
Am E7
For I am woman’s fury and her honor and her pain
Am Dm E7 Am
And before this day is over, oh, the blood shall fall like rain.
Am Dm Am Chorus: Bring me thunder, bring me steel, bring me coat of iron maille Am F E7 Bring me diamond-hardened will and let my courage never fail Am E7 Bring the lighting to my sword – lashing, living in my hand Am Dm E7 Am And bring warning to the Horde that here the Battle Raven stands.
Am Dm Am I am wind and rain and fire. I am venom, blood and tears. Am F E7 I can raise a fury higher than the worst of mortal fears. Am E7 I am Woman for the women and the children and the home. Am Dm E7 Am I will raise my cry in battle with an army or alone. Chorus
Am Dm Am When the Raven stands to battle I will hear no pleading word. Am F E7 I will grant no foeman quarter, fallen men raise not the sword. Am E7 I know no rules of warring. This is not some bloody game. Am Dm E7 Am This is kill or die in trying, for your foe will do the same. Chorus
Am Dm Am I will sing to bring the thunder crashing down from out the sky Am F E7 And I’ll sing to light the souls of all the warriors soon to die Am E7 And I will sing in battle bloody songs of war and pain, Am Dm E7 Am And I will sing tonight for war to never come again. Chorus
