“Elanor Allan”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
Elanor Allan, don’t open the door
There’s a world out there in the middle of a war
And you’re far too small to stay out of the way
Elanor, dearest, please don’t cry
There’s a world outside the edge of your eye
And it’s too far-gone for tiny tears to save

PRECHORUS I
But they wait for a raven to come down and save them all

CHORUS I
Elanor Allan, don’t look to the sky
It’s far too dark for birds to fly
And it’s way too late to save our lives
Elanor Allan, don’t open your mind
It’s far too large for the sun to find
A way into the deepest place inside

VERSE II
Poison swords will pierce the tongues
Of all that claim that the evil has won
And of all that say these wars won’t ever end
So fly, my raven, into the black
Taste their blood and spit it all back
You’re too far-gone to come back home again

PRECHOUS II
And we've all been waiting for the wings of a raven to fall

~ CHORUS I ~

PRECHORUS III
We will wait for a raven to take us to the place we belong

CHORUS II
Elanor Allan, don’t close the door
We’re too far behind to run anymore
But I will crawl the million miles on

~ CHORUS I ~
