Hmmm. I've been thinking about this one, and here's what I've come up with:
Ravens= Goth. Ghosts=undeath=Goth. Appearance in time of famine=ill-omened=Goth. Implication that we could RIGHT THIS MOMENT be surrounded by invisible raven ghosts=Goth.
The rest of it is in the phrasing: "night-hunting in famine for prey," for example, is so fey it's practically a ready-made Crüxshadows lyric. Ditto "a last feeble croak at the blush of dawn". I think you may have laid your finger on it with the question What will ease the perpetual famine of a ghost raven? What indeed?
