IMO the suggestion of the imagery of the crow being inspired by a Greek myth of a psychopomp raven; while I don't believe is THAT farfetched, doesn't totally fit as well as the suggestion of the crow being a metaphor for the night (and thus fear, death & uncertainty). To me, makes a lot of sense with the other lyrics regarding the fleeting dawn. The song overall, seems too vague to imply such a deep, unexplored motif like that of the mythological allegory. If such a story were the inspiration, I feel it would have been made more clear, or at least hinted at with more detail or parallel....
