Raven Blackthorn - Raven Blackthorn

Southern Gothic Outlaw Rock / Dark Americana (Cinematic Rock)

Tracy Bailey

Southern Gothic Outlaw Rock / Dark Americana (Cinematic Rock)

About

A Southern-gothic outlaw rock anthem that starts in the pit: intimate, broken, and breath-close—then slowly stacks tension into a massive, cathedral-sized chorus. Raven Blackthorne fights her own shadow in the verses, and by the final lift she’s not surviving… she’s winning—boots in the ash, black roses burning, crows scattering into the rafters.

Lyrics

[Intro]

[whisper]

If you hear a fiddle cryin’…

don’t follow it.

It’s me… rememberin’.

[Verse 1]

Midnight on my tongue tastes like rust

Like prayers that never made it out

Your shadow in my rearview glass

Still movin’ when I shut it down

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t shake

I don’t swing

I just breathe…

and let the hard part sing

[Chorus]

I’m Raven Blackthorne

black lace, black smoke, iron in my throat

I sing like a cathedral burning

I love like a loaded gun

You don’t get forgiven

you get forgotten

then you hear my voice in the rafters

and you know what you’ve become

[Verse 2]

Piano low like a funeral bell

Strings pullin’ nails outta my spine

Banjo ghost on the back porch rail

Fiddle drawin’ circles in the night

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I don’t chase

I don’t plead

I turn the hurt into steel

and the steel into heat

[Chorus]

I’m Raven Blackthorne

black lace, black smoke, iron in my throat

I sing like a cathedral burning

I love like a loaded gun

You don’t get forgiven

you get forgotten

then you hear my voice in the rafters

and you know what you’ve become

[Post-Chorus]

Black lace… black smoke…

Say my name if you want the truth

Black lace… black smoke…

I don’t haunt you—I move through you

[Bridge]

(growl to belt)

I’m not the prayer you thought you said

I’m the answer you can’t outrun

There’s a river in my veins

and it’s carrying a body of suns

Strike the match and watch me bloom

No mercy left for what you’ve done

I’m the thunder in the chapel

I’m the fire you can’t become

[Final Chorus]

I’m Raven Blackthorne

black lace, black smoke, thunder in my bones

I sing like a reckoning coming

I howl like the choir’s done

You don’t get forgiven

you get forgotten

and the last thing you’ll ever remember…

is the sound… of what you’ve become

[Chorus]

I’m Raven Blackthorne

[whisper]

If you hear a fiddle cryin’…

I’m Raven Blackthorne
