"I haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead your path,
Because I'll take you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you...

(...) (And death will smile his barefaced smile
Initiating your final anguish
It is not before my arrival that you will be lead to feel
The natural serenity of leaving this world...

Hear my wings caressing the wind!
Hear my... CRY!)'"
("QUOTH THE RAVEN", by Eluveitie)

My rendition for Eluveitie's QUOTH THE RAVEN, amazing song. I used Anna Murphy's face as reference because I like her profile very much, she's very different and pretty. And she has this long, elegant nose so I thought she would fit the raven concept. <3 I also wanted her to be the model because she has the most dramatic part of the song, the scream in the end. =D
