I originally wrote those lyrics to be used in a folk song, because I was asked to. Figured I'd translate them into Thiudsch and create a rock/metal song with it. It's a bit all over the place, but so was the original song.
Verse

Verse
At dusk on a bench, there sits an old man;
Gazing towards the horizon, to the sunset.
He thinks back to the laughter of children, to love that he found;
But all this is long past, scattered like fine sand.
Verse
A raven sits on his shoulder, feathers black like tar;
A silent guardian of his soul, named 'Nevermore'.
Years went by like the wind, he turnd grey and old;
But the one thing remained loyal, the raven-like figure.
Pre-Chorus
The eyes that once looked through the world;
Now the lids grow heavy.
The raven is silent, but always close;
A loyal friend for ever more.
Chorus
Fly once more, feel once more;
Glide once more, touch the clouds.
Experience the world once more from above;
And then go homeward in peace.
Verse
The evening sets and stars awake;
Listen, past laughter in the distance.
A quiet whisper on the wind's breath;
The raven spreads his wings.
Pre-Chorus
The eyes that once looked through the world;
Now the lids grow heavy.
The raven is silent, but always close;
A loyal friend for ever more.
Chorus
Fly once more, feel once more;
Glide once more, touch the clouds.
Experience the world once more from above;
And then go homeward in peace.
Outro
At peace, he closes his eyes;
The raven soars into the sky.
See the world one final time;
Then find peace, go homeward.
