O projeto conta com 11 faixas no total, incluindo os singles previamente lançados que se tornaram grandes sucessos mundiais Raven's Curse e Into My Spell.

Lyrics
Your eyes make me lose balance
They’re brighter than diamonds
I want them for me like a golden trophy
Oh, you taste sweet and then sour
Swear I could blab for hours
‘Bout how much I like this sensation
I won’t let you leave my heart
‘Til you break your way out of it
I could lock you in the dark
Just to make you love me
That’s unnatural, baby
That my favorite sound
Is the despair of your shout
That’s unnatural, baby
Maybe I’m a lil psycho
Bet you know it now
That’s unnatural
That’s unnatural
02. Into My Spell
O segundo single da era, Into My Spell, é uma música focada em vocais e fala sobre viver um amor que é proibido e enfeitiçar uma pessoa enquanto a conduz em uma dança pela escuridão. A produção mergulha no pop eletrônico com distorções, e apesar de soar diferente de outros projetos do grupo, ainda mantém a sua essência e sua sonoridade única.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alice, Kim Hwa]
The moonlight comes in through the window crack
Breaking the pitch black
Heartbeats echoing through the darkness
A bittersweet sharpness
[Pre-Chorus: Jisook]
A morbid melody
You conduct me
Our bodies swing
When our eyes meet
[Chorus: Moon Yoon, Kim Hwa, Seoyeon]
Midnight hiding a forbidden love
I feel addicted just by your touch
I know this feeling is dangerous
So I’mma cast ya a spell, cast ya…
Loving you feels like adrenaline
Underneath a velvet sky, we spin
Tomorrowless we keep dancing
Till you fall into my spell, into my spell
Yeah, it's burning
[Verse 2: Jisook, Moon Yoon]
The sparkle in your eyes is so bright
Creature, I’m hypnotized
Lose myself in that hell and if I survive
Gotta climb to paradise
[Pre-Chorus: Alice]
A morbid melody
You conduct me
Our bodies swing
When our eyes meet
[Chorus: Jisook, Seoyeon, Moon Yoon]
Midnight hiding a forbidden love
I feel addicted just by your touch
I know this feeling is dangerous
So I’mma cast ya a spell, cast ya…
Loving you feels like adrenaline
Underneath a velvet sky, we spin
Tomorrowless we keep dancing
Till you fall into my spell, into my spell
It’s burning
[Bridge: Kim Hwa]
Suddenly, carelessly, you let go of my wrist
Help me, I can’t breathe, why is this pain so deep?
[Chorus: Alice, Jisook, Seoyeon]
Midnight hiding a forbidden love
I feel addicted just by your touch
I know this feeling is dangerous
So I’mma cast ya a spell, cast ya…
Loving you feels like adrenaline
Underneath a velvet sky, we spin
Tomorrowless we keep dancing
Till you fall into my spell, into my spell
Yeah, it's burning
[Outro: Seoyeon]
Yeah, it's burning
Yeah, it's burning
03. Plague *TITLE TRACK*
A title track do álbum é a música Plague, terceira faixa do projeto. Mesclando elementos do dark pop com o eletrônico, o RAVEN canta sobre como o amor é uma praga que lentamente as mata, mas elas ainda sentem a necessidade de tê-lo. Em determinado momento durante a letra, elas mudam o discurso de que o amor é uma praga para "eu sou uma praga", indicando que elas se consideram a própria personificação do amor.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kim Hwa, Jisook]
Woke up feeling kind of weird
And the Sun just disappeared
The cold breeze makes me shiver
I wonder if I am still alive
When I become one with night
The cause of my emotional fever
[Pre-Chorus: Moon Yoon, Alice]
Heard it's true, heard it's true
All that goes up always comes down
And it's true, and it's true
Heaven's closer to me than the ground, ohh
[Chorus: Kim Hwa, Jisook]
Love’s a plague, slowing down my heart pace
Love it or hate it, but it's too late to save me
You got me writing my name on my own grave
And I had you crying, 'cause I am a plague
[Post-Chorus: All, Moon Yoon]
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
I’m a plague
[Verse 2: Seoyeon]
Darkness in my heart is a symptom of the disease
My skin aches while the purple stains increase
[Pre-Chorus: Alice, Jisook]
Heard it's true, heard it's true
All that goes up always comes down
And it's true, and it's true
Heaven's closer to me than the ground, ohh
[Chorus: Alice, Moon Yoon, Seoyeon, Jisook]
Love’s a plague, slowing down my heart pace
Love it or hate it, but it's too late to save me
You got me writing my name on my own grave
And I had you crying, 'cause I am a plague
Love’s a plague, slowing down my heart pace
Love it or hate it, but it's too late to save me
You got me writing my name on my own grave
And I had you crying, 'cause I am a plague
[Post-Chorus: All, Jisook]
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
I’m a plague
[Bridge: Kim Hwa, Moon Yoon]
Help me, help me
I'm dying by passion
So deep, so deep
Help me, help me
I'm dying by passion
So deep, so deep
[Chorus: Alice, Kim Hwa]
Love’s a plague, slowing down my heart pace
Love it or hate it, but it's too late to save me
You got me writing my name on my own grave
And I had you crying, 'cause I am a plague
[Post-Chorus: All, Alice, Seoyeon]
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
I’m a plague
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
I’m a plague
04. The Garden of Misfortunes
A quarta faixa do projeto possui produção do americano Apollyon. The Garden of Misfortunes fala sobre um jardim onde tudo que cresce é podre, inclusive as próprias integrantes que tratam aquele solo como seu lar. Todas essas dificuldades lhe renderam cicatrizes, as quais elas carregam como uma coroa. A letra evidencia que as meninas se rendem a este jardim de infortúnios, como se aceitem a sua própria podridão.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kim Hwa, Moon Yoon]
Guess I reap what I sow
I feel like I have no control
Just watching myself falling down
There’s poison in the soil I step
Watered by tears I’ve once shed
That soaked deep into the ground
[Pre-Chorus: Jisook]
Delighting the black li-li-light
I bloom like the ni-ni-ni-night
Only I know how I tried, how I fight, yeah
[Chorus: Alice, All]
Born in the garden of misfortunes
(The unfortunate garden of misfortunes)
I’ve been living through the distortion
(My whole life’s been a twisted distortion)
Grown among thorns that hurt me down
(Couldn’t run away, I was rooted in the ground)
And now those scars are my crown
[Verse 2: Seoyeon, Kim Hwa]
One day, I decided to try something different
And I knew that its growth would be difficult
A beautiful flower with petals darker than the Sun
But everything that blooms here is rotten
And its primordial meaning was forgotten
Once I touched it, the hell itself has begun
[Pre-Chorus: Moon Yoon, Alice]
Delighting the black li-li-light
I bloom like the ni-ni-ni-night
Only I know how I tried, yeah
I can feel it in my mi-mi-mi-mind
Eating up my eye-eye-eye-eyes
Only I know how I tried, how I fight, yeah
[Chorus: Jisook, All]
Born in the garden of misfortunes
(The unfortunate garden of misfortunes)
I’ve been living through the distortion, yeah-yeah, eh, eh
(My whole life’s been a twisted distortion)
Grown among thorns that hurt me down (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Couldn’t run away, I was rooted in the ground)
And now those scars are my crown
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge: Kim Hwa, Seoyeon, Jisook]
Shadows whisper lies
Under the grayish skies
But I’m not that naive, I know, I know, woah
A haunted voice keeps calling me to the dark
And tells me to sacrifice my own heart
In this cursed garden, I have nothing to lose
So baby, I’ll surrender to you
[Chorus: Moon Yoon, All]
Born in the garden of misfortunes
(The unfortunate garden of misfortunes)
I’ve been living through the distortion, ohh-ohh
(My whole life’s been a twisted distortion)
Grown among thorns that hurt me down
(Couldn’t run away, I was rooted in the ground)
[Outro: Moon Yoon, Alice]
The scars are my crown
The scars are my crown
Just watch me fall down
Ooh-ooh, woah, oh I, oh-oh I
I’m in the garden
In in the garden of misfortunes
05. Claws
A quinta faixa teve participação na composição do rapper sino-americano e parceiro de gravadora do grupo, o solista Nate Cooper. A canção mergulha com tudo em um dark pop tribal que mais parece um ritual. A letra se aprofunda nesse sentimento de amor possessivo e doentio, desejando ter a pessoa amada em suas garras, garras estas que são de um lobo selvagem - uma clara referência ao personagem da integrante Seoyeon, no universo do RAVEN, que inclusive possui um longo verso de rap na ponte da música. A faixa esbanja uma crueldade animalesca, desejando rasgar o coração de seu amado só para saboreá-lo.

Lyrics
[Intro: Kim Hwa]
Ooh, I’ll howl into the night like a wolf
Like a wolf, I’ll have you in my claws
Now succumb
[Verse 1: Seoyeon, Moon Yoon]
Your touch burns me up like fire
It awakens my desire
Takes me to heaven and higher, oh yeah
You’re like a ruined empire
Own a beauty I admire
And I want to feel it run through my hands
[Pre-Chorus: Jisook]
I'm gonna make you fall in dark so I can taste your broken heart
I’m gonna make you lose control until I can steal your soul
I can be both the poison and the antidote that you wish for
Taking over your veins, I drain your blood out until you rot
[Chorus: Alice, Kim Hwa]
Rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot
I got you in my claws
Like a wolf I’ll howl
Got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got
I got you in my claws
Like a wolf I’ll howl
Eh oh
[Verse 2: Moon Yoon]
I own every path here, you cannot run away from me
It's fun to see your body being devoured by my howl
Facing the fear, this is how the things works here
I dare you not to fall into the deep Moon’s melody
[Verse 3: Kim Hwa, Jisook]
Like a wolf, I’m howling louder
Showing off all my power
There’s no need to be afraid of me
I might look a lil’ dour
A ravenous devourer
But I’m just a romantic beast
[Chorus: Alice]
I'm gonna make you fall in dark so I can taste your broken heart
I’m gonna make you lose control until I can steal your soul
I can be both the poison and the antidote that you wish for
Taking over your veins, I drain your blood out until you rot
[Refrain: Moon Yoon, Seoyeon]
Rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot
I got you in my claws
Like a wolf, I’ll howl
Got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got
I got you in my claws
Now listen to me howl
Eh oh
[Bridge: Seoyeon]
Got a ravenous heart still beating
And all open wounds still bleeding
Well, now that you’re trapped, there’s no escape
That’s like a game, I’m the hunter and you’re the prey
Your lips are trembling, you barely can’t spell my name
The wolf inside me is trying to make me insane
I hear the howls and my claws are bloodstained
Your prayers are in vain
I’m the God you claim
That’s RAVEN!
[Refrain: Jisook, Alice]
Rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot
I got you in my claws
Like a wolf I’ll howl
Got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got
I got you in my claws
Like a wolf I’ll howl
Eh oh
[Outro: Kim Hwa]
Ooh, like a wolf I’ll howl into the night
Like a wolf I’ll have you in my claws
Say goodbye
06. Savior
Savior é uma canção de adoração à deusa grega da noite, Nyx. Filha do caos e temida por todo o Olimpo, Nyx é uma das deusas primordiais, mas raramente era adorada. Nesta faixa, as integrantes do RAVEN evocam sua força e clamam para que as trevas dominem o mundo, enquanto elas serão as guerreiras que carregarão o nome de Nyx. A música mergulha com tudo no eletrônico com um drop eletrizante após o primeiro refrão, mas ainda mantendo as características tribais que a faixa anterior possuía.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Seoyeon, Moon Yoon, Alice, Kim Hwa]
It’s in my veins
I carry all the pain
Under an acid rain
I flaunt my stains
It’s like a disaster
It keeps going faster
Coming like a destroyer starblaster
Gotta protect the sacred things
Even if I have to show off my wings
The deepest and darkest night
Going through it while I fly
(It’s time to let it go)
[Pre-Chorus: Jisook]
Ooh, daughter of chaos
Feared by the Olympus
The one that brings the darkness
While worn in a black dress
[Chorus: Alice, Kim Hwa, Moon Yoon]
My goddess, my only savior
The one that rose from flames
We dispose as your warriors
You shall know our names
This is RAVEN!
Drop!
[Verse 2: Seoyeon, Jisook]
Piece by piece, I'm building my own way
I’m starving and shining brighter than day
Limitless force against unsuccessful tries
You simply cannot kill the night
[Pre-Chorus: Alice]
Ooh, daughter of chaos
Feared by the Olympus
The one that brings the darkness
While worn in a black dress
[Chorus: Kim Hwa, Moon Yoon, Seoyeon]
My goddess, my only savior
The one that rose from flames
We dispose as your warriors
You shall know our names
This is RAVEN!
[Bridge: All, Jisook, Kim Hwa]
Ooh, your eyes are darker than the night itself
Aiming forward the utopia
For an endless night
Where the darkness can finally reign
And all the light might fade (Hey)
[Chorus: Moon Yoon, Seoyeon, Jisook]
My goddess, my only savior
The one that rose from flames
We dispose as your warriors
You shall know our names
This is RAVEN!
[Outro: Alice, Kim Hwa, Seoyeon]
Always around you
We have come to save this world
Always among you
N-Y-X (Oh)
This is RAVEN!
Stop!
07. Drowning
Sob uma perspectiva quase ultrarromântica, o RAVEN entrega a sétima faixa de seu álbum. Drowning é uma música pop dançante, comparando o seu objeto de amor com uma estrela, a qual o eu-lírico deseja eternizar na mais bela constelação que há no céu. A canção fala sobre querer se afundar na alma da outra pessoa e se deixar levar por esse sentimento tão fumegante.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alice, Kim Hwa, Jisook]
It’s like the passage of a comet
Throughout the night sky
Wish I had a lightspeed rocket
To see it with my own eyes (own eyes)
Sometimes we just don’t wanna simply let it go (let it go)
And let it vanish into the deepest one of the black holes
Promise I’m gonna chase you like I chase a dream
‘Cause I want to drown in, so would you drown me? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Moon Yoon, Jisook, Seoyeon]
I could go through the whole galaxy
Just to find you for me
Like a tragedy should be
You’re the one that’s been missing from my favorite stars collection
Want to eternalize you in the prettiest constellation
Drown, drown, drown, drown
[Chorus: Kim Hwa, Alice]
Drowning, I’m drowning, it’s so deep when you say you love me
The stars I’ve been counting, searching you at the sky above me
I don’t wanna dive into a shallow soul
So drown me, I’m drownin’, I’m drownin’ in your love
[Post-Chorus: All, Jisook]
Drown, drown, drown, drown
I don't wanna dive into a shallow soul
So drown me, I’m drownin’, I’m drownin’ in your love
[Verse 2: Seoyeon, Moon Yoon]
All night thinkin’ ‘bout you nonstop
I’ve been drinking every teardrop
Floating in universe
But things can always get worse
Deeper, please be my solitude reaper, just want to feel whole
If you love me, let me drown into your soul and let me lose control
[Pre-Chorus: Alice, Kim Hwa, Seoyeon]
I could go through the whole galaxy
Just to find you for me
Like a tragedy should be
You’re the one that’s been missing from my favorite stars collection
Want to eternalize you in the prettiest constellation
Drown, drown, drown, drown
[Chorus: Jisook, Moon Yoon]
Drowning, I’m drowning, it’s so deep when you say you love me
The stars I’ve been counting, searching you at the sky above me
I don’t wanna dive into a shallow soul
So drown me, I’m drownin’, I’m drownin’ in your love
[Bridge: Kim Hwa, Seoyeon]
So good the way you keep driving me crazy
Baby, don’t stop, baby, don’t stop
Baby, don’t stop, baby, don’t stop
Set me free to be free
But it’s not enough yet for me, I want more
Give me your soul in name of love
I want to lose control
[Chorus: Moon Yoon, Seoyeon, Alice]
Drowning, drowning (into unknown)
It’s so deep when you say you love me
The stars I’ve been counting (into unknown)
Searching you at the sky above me
I don’t wanna dive into a shallow soul
Let me drown, let me drown, let me drown into you
[Post-Chorus: All, Alice, Jisook]
Drown, drown, drown, drown (Oh, oh)
I don’t wanna dive into a shallow soul
So drown me, I’m drownin’, I’m drownin’ in your love
08. Sweet Devil
Sweet Devil é a oitava faixa do disco e finalmente traz os elementos do rock que o RAVEN faz tão bem. A letra continua fantasiando sobre este amor que as integrantes sonharam, mas traz uma dualidade no ponto em que elas dizem que não sabem diferenciar um sonho de um pesadelo, no entanto a sua pessoa amada ainda está lá, tão doce quanto o diabo, comparando-a com algo mau para justificar que a maldade não está em si, mas no outro, porém ainda doce, sendo este o motivo do vício e obsessão.

And it was so real, so real, so real, yeah
I wonder if you had it too ‘cause swear I could feel
Your skin against my skin

Sometimes a kiss is all I need
To pacify myself
So would you give just one to me?
I just wish to face my inner hell
[Chorus: Kim Hwa, Seoyeon, Jisook, Alice, Moon Yoon]
I can't deny the sweetness were into your eyes
As sweet as the devil
Don’t run away until I finally make you mine
Forever
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(La-la) stole my heart unintentionally
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(La-la) you’ll never find someone like me
[Verse 2: Seoyeon, Jisook]
Somehow you hacked my brain, yeah
I can’t think of anything else
All I see is you when I lay at night, ah-ah
Disturbing my sleep, taking all my energy
You’re always on the crime scene like the victim

But I can't differentiate it from a nightmare
Winter then spring
Seasons come and go but you’re always in my head
Oh-oh, oh
I can see that you’re the destined one
[smear:#00c02b]Oh, oh, oh[/smear:#d60000:0] (Yeah)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(La-la) stole my heart unintentionally
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

09. Raven’s Curse
O primeiro single da era, lançado há mais de um ano, após a final do reality show QUEENDOL, onde o RAVEN terminou em terceiro lugar, integra o full album na posição 9. Raven's Curse é uma música vocal e que se aprofunda ainda mais no rock, falando de maneira mais clara do que nunca sobre esse amor possessivo e cruel, que sempre termina de uma maneira ruim, deixando o eu-lírico sozinho. Esta é a maldição do corvo.

[Verse 1: Jisook, Kim Hwa]
It is my destiny
To be left alone
Singing melancholically
An everlasting song
Since that rainy day
I haven’t been the same
We’re under a love spell
So we can never leave this hell
[Pre-Chorus: Alice]
You and I are chained until the end of times
[Chorus: Moon Yoon, Jisook]
Can’t let you go ‘cause I’m solo
I go insane, it rots my brain
Till I lose control
Got you on a cage
Where you can’t escape, no!
Call me evil, but I do it for love
I lock your heart into mine
So I can dance with your soul
This nightmare just gets worse
Raven’s curse
[Verse 2: Seoyeon]
I’ve got a question: why do you keep fighting?
It’s light against shadow, the stars are aligning
Night passing by so quickly, time’s flying
Addicted to your eyes, I caught myself
Obsessed
It feels like I’ve been
Possessed
Lost my identity
[Verse 3: Alice, Moon Yoon]
I cut your wings
Just to hear you scream (so sweet)
Because I love you
In my wildest dream
[Pre-Chorus: Jisook]
Unbreakable spell
[Chorus: Kim Hwa, Moon Yoon]
Can’t let you go ‘cause I’m solo
I go insane, it rots my brain

I lock your heart into mine
So I can dance with your soul
This nightmare just gets worse

[Bridge: Alice, Jisook]
I don’t care if I have to chase you into the darkest of the nights
We’re meant to be together
Every step you take, I’ll follow you, I will be there too because
You and I are bound forever
[Chorus: Jisook, Seoyeon, Kim Hwa]
(I can’t let go) Can’t let you go ‘cause I’m solo
I go insane, it rots my brain
Till I lose control (control!)
Got you on a cage
Where you can’t escape, no!
Call me evil, but I do it for love
I lock your heart into mine
So I can dance with your soul

10. Idlewild
Idlewild é um termo que designa o sentimento de gratidão por estar preso em um lugar onde você não pode fazer nada, por exemplo, estar sentado em um ponto de ônibus por horas aguardando o transporte, completamente sozinho, o que alivia o fardo da mente de precisar fazer alguma coisa o tempo todo. A canção traz esse ponto de vista em sua letra. Na faixa anterior, é discutido que a maldição do corvo é sempre terminar sozinho, e nesse momento, sem um objeto de amor, as integrantes podem curtir um pouco desse sentimento de liberdade da própria mente. Essa faixa também foi produzida por Apollyon e possui um refrão cantado em uníssono.

[Intro: Alice]
Idlewild
Exiled
[Verse 1: Kim Hwa, Jisook]
Clock hands are moving slowly
Is it wrong to feel free?
If time decided to stop
Things would be better
And this could last forever
[Verse 2: Seoyeon, Moon Yoon]
Yeah, I already forgot what I’ve been waiting
And I never thought that I’d be dissociating
(Nevermind!)
In the middle of nowhere
Feeling lost but don’t want a compass
[Pre-Chorus: Alice]
Now it's my time
I can breathe deeply and scream my lungs out
No one will listen to me
[Chorus: All]
Idlewild
Enjoying my loneliness (oh, yes)
Exiled
Contemplating the darkness
Aimlessly I wander into the night
In a world devoid of all light
Hopefully I’ll find myself
And I know I’ll end up well
[Verse 3: Kim Hwa, Seoyeon, Jisook]
RAVEN!
Feeling like I was speeding up over limit
And when I braked down, the inertia hit me
[smear:#3112ea]Can’t stop this beat[/smear:#d60000:0]
Too fast to perceive
And life itself has become obsolete
[Verse 4: Moon Yoon, Kim Hwa, Seoyeon]
I don’t know if it’s a dream
But it’s better than the routine
That I used to be livin’
The sky spells my name
Counting stars ‘til they fade
It’s weird to see the beauty of the nothingness
If that’s a sin, I plead guilty
Got my soul rid off the burden my body is
[Pre-Chorus: Kim Hwa]
Now it's my time
I can breathe deeply and scream my lungs out
No one will listen to me
[Chorus: All]
Idlewild
Enjoying my loneliness (oh, yes)
Exiled
Contemplating the darkness
Aimlessly I wander into the night
In a world devoid of all light
Hopefully I’ll find myself
And I know I’ll end up well
[Bridge: Moon Yoon, Seoyeon, Jisook]
Feeling like an orange dry leaf
That has fallen off its tree
Patiently I’ve been just waitin’
For life itself to remember about me
The ennui attacking my mind
And silence merging with time
It’s making me scream
[Interlude: Alice, Seoyeon]
Idlewild
Enjoying my loneliness (oh, yes)
Exiled
[Chorus: All, Kim Hwa]
Idlewild
Enjoying my loneliness (oh, yes)
Exiled
Contemplating the darkness
Aimlessly I wander into the night (woah!)
In a world devoid of all light
Hopefully I’ll find myself
And I know I’ll end up well
11. Farewell
Encerrando o álbum, a faixa Farewell é inteiramente instrumental e condensa todas as sonoridades do disco em pouco mais de 3 minutos. A música é um suspiro de alívio, como se após todo o sofrimento e aceitação, elas tivessem dado adeus aos sentimentos ruins e agora estão livres.
