| My Favourite Opeth Lyrics
A few of my favourite lyrics from my favourite band of all time. Mikael is
quite the wordsmith, especially as English is his second language. Not
ordered btw. | | 1 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
The Leper Affinity ~ ?Your body is mine to avail - Such a tragic sight you are. Slave
under my creed, Spurring me with those tears.? You can have your ventricular
erotic disembowelment lyrics, this verse speaks true brutality to me. | | 2 |  | Opeth
Morningrise
Nectar ~ ?I arose from the lullaby, Enduring yet another tale. You tempt me again
With your embrace, so tainted. Within the night you beckon, Cursing me with every
glance.? I can imagine this interaction. Powerful. | | 3 |  | Opeth
My Arms, Your Hearse
April Ethereal ~ ?The rain was waving goodbye, and when the night came, the
forest folded its branches around me. Something passed by, and I went into a
dream. She laughing and weeping at once: "take me away".? A beautiful and
evocative lyric. | | 4 |  | Opeth
Still Life
The Moor ~ ?I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith, Wearing my death-mask at
birth. The hands of God, decrepit and thin, Cold caress and then nothing. I was
taken away from my plight, A treason bestowed to the crowd. Branded a Jonah,
with fevered blood, Ungodly freak, defiler.? A fierce exposition of religious
persecution. | | 5 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
Harlequin Forest ~ ?And now the woods are burning - Tearing life crops asunder.
Useless blackened remains, Still pyre smoldering.? I can actually feel the acrid smoke
in my throat. | | 6 |  | Opeth
Orchid
The Twilight is My Robe ~ ?In my vision, You are the embodiment of pure freedom.
But to my eyes you are made of stone.? In the context of the song this is terribly
stirring. Do look further into the lyrics of The Twilight is my Robe, you won't regret
it. | | 7 | | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Dirge for November ~ ?It sheds upon the floor, dripping into a pool. Grant me sleep,
take me under. Like the wings of a dove, folding around, I fade into this tender
care.? A poignant and even beautiful ode to suicide. | | 8 | | Opeth
Still Life
Benighted ~ ?Come into this night, When you're able. To undo your deeds, And
atone with your lonely soul. Once you're into this night, All minds are stable. Forget
all your needs, Lose the grip of all control.? Ok, I'm coming! | | 9 | | Opeth
Morningrise
Black Rose Immortal ~ ?It's getting dark again, Dusk shuffles across the fields. The
evening trees moan as if they knew, At night I always dream of you. ~epic
scream~? The perfect quietus to a perfect song. | | 10 | | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Blackwater Park ~ ?Lepers, coiled neath the trees - Dying men in bewildered
soliloquies. Perversions bloom round the bend, Seekers, lost in their quest, Ghosts
of friends frolic under the waning moon.? What a scene. Likely the only lyric I know
which can be justly described as 'apocalyptic'. | |

08.13.14 | I like this list. At least it's not another Opeth discog ranking. | Rowan5215
08.13.14 | Never thought lyrics were exactly Opeth's strength but 4 is fucking awesome | L4titudes
08.13.14 | cool list | tommygun
08.13.14 | RAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR | ScuroFantasma
08.13.14 | "Spiraling to the ground below. Like autumn leaves left in the wake to faaaaadee awaaay". | ValarMorghulis
08.13.14 | DEAFENING SHRIEKS PIERCED THE NIIIIGHHHHTT | Mythodea
08.13.14 | Opeth's lyrics rule. I really like ''Orchid'''s lyrics a lot. The Apostle In Triumph is awesome. | Artuma
08.13.14 | 10 is 1 ugh it's so fucking brutal | Scoot
08.13.14 | Devotion eludes
And in sadness I lumber
In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered: "I know..." | ChoccyPhilly
08.13.14 | You missed some pretty big ones that I think are much better than quite a lot of the ones above. Sure, they're atmospheric and wordy but that's just about it. Props for 4 and 1 though. Good list overall
"Help me cure you, atone for all you've done
Help me leave you, as all the days are gone"

08.13.14 | His mouth. is. A vorteeeeeeeex. Sucking you into its pandimoniuuuuuumm | InfamousGrouse
08.13.14 | survey the slooooooopes | InfamousGrouse
08.13.14 | Hope Leaves is #1 why isn't it here | HamishObserves
08.13.14 | Mesm277: BEST-MADE TACOS, OF THE EARTH
Scoot: That's a wonderful one.
Mythodea: I ENGULF THE SKIEEESSSSSS
ScuroFantasma: That one was close. I favoured the utter brutality of Blackwater Park rather than the sweeter moments.
Hawks: Thanks! Though I'm definitely going to do one when I make up my mind on Pale Communion.

I actually love that part, you can bugger off Twort. | VisionsFromTheDarkSide
08.13.14 | The lyrics to The Night and the Silent Water are probably my favourite lyrics of all time | Tunaboy45
08.13.14 | Halo of death all I see is departure, mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr. | elcrawfodor
08.13.14 | "When can we scream instead of whisper?" always gets me. | ScuroFantasma
08.13.14 | agreed Tuna, probably the most memorable line of theirs. | Mesm277
08.14.14 | Devil cracked the earthly shell foretold she was the one. Blew hope into the room and said "you have to live before you die young"
!!! | ButteryBiscuitBass
08.14.14 | When can I take you from this place?
When is the word but a sigh?
When is death our lone beholder?
When would we walk the final steps?
When can we scream instead of whisper?
When is the new beginning,
and the end of this sad MADRIGAL. | BigPleb
08.14.14 | feel the paaaiiinn innn your braaaiiiin, iiiiinsaaaaaaane
