"Giant killer ravens...I have a feeling it's going to be a long, cold night."
— Baros Alexston, World of Warcraft
"As birds go, ravens are actually quite pleasant. Unfortunately, they're also classic harbingers of impending doom."
"And their executors the knavish crows fly o'er them all, impatient for their hour."
— Grandpré, Henry V
"Dark wings, dark words."
"Crows are scary, lemme tell ya. When your eyes meet, they start flapping and... *shudder*"
— Morgana, Persona 5
Cawing on high, the crows,
Trusting their black wings
Cross the heath
Grimly.
Trusting their black wings
Cross the heath
Grimly.
The raw biting of the air
The sorrowful tree trunks
Offer, in prayer, their bare branches,
How cold I am!
The sorrowful tree trunks
Offer, in prayer, their bare branches,
How cold I am!
I am alone;
Driven through the gray sky
A wail of extinction
Flies...
Driven through the gray sky
A wail of extinction
Flies...
— Translation of "Un gemito dell'estinto" (A groan of extinction), the Game Over theme from Shadow Hearts: From The New World.
