Opeth – Damnation

Eklenme Tarihi: 12.12.2024

1. Windowpane

Blank face in the windowpane

Made clear in seconds of light

Disappears and returns again

Counting hours, searching the night

Might be waiting for someone

Might be there for us to see

Might be in need of talking

Might be staring directly at me

Inside plays a lullaby

Slurred voice over children cries

On the inside

Haunting loneliness in the eye

Skin covering a secret scar

His hand is waving a goodbye

There`s no response or action returned

There is deep prejudice in me

Outshines all reason inside

Given dreams all ridden with pain

And projected unto the last

2. In My Time Of Need

I can`t see the meaning of this life I`m leading

I try to forget you as you forgot me

This time there is nothing left for you to take, this

is goodbye

Summer is miles and miles away

And no one would ask me to stay

And I should contemplate this change

To ease the pain

And I should step out of the rain

turn away

Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the

stages

Of the rapture born within this loss

Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core

of my soul

At times the dark`s fading slowly

But it never sustains

Would someone watch over me

In my time of need

3. Death Whispered A Lullaby

Out on the road there are fireflies circling

Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide

Over the hill there are men returning

Trying to find some peace of mind

Sleep my child

Under the fog there are shadows moving

Don`t be afraid, hold my hand

Into the dark there are eyelids closing

Buried alive in the shifting sands

Sleep my child

Speak to me now and the world will crumble

Open a door and the moon will fall

All of your life, all your memories

Go to your dreams, forget it all

Sleep my child

4. Closure

Heal myself-a feather on my heart

Look inside-there never was a start

Peel myself-dispose of severed skin

All subsides-around me and within

There`s nothing painful in this

There`s no upheaval

Redemption for my pathos

All sins undone

Awaiting word on what`s to come

In helpless prayers a hope lives on

As I`ve come clean I`ve forgotten what I promised

In the rays of the sun I am longing for the darkness

5. Hope Leaves

In the corner beside my window

There hangs a lonely photograph

There is no reason

I`d never notice

A memory that could hold me back

There is a wound that`s always bleeding

There is a road I`m always walking

And I know you`ll never return to this place

Gone through days without talking

There is a comfort in silence

So used to losing all ambition

Struggling to maintain what`s left

Once undone, there is only smoke

Burning in my eyes to blind

To cover up what really happened

Force the darkness unto me

6. To Rid The Disease

There`s nobody here, there`s nobody near

I try not to care, dead eyes always stare

Let these matters be, don`t trust what you see

Take hold of your time, step into the line

There`s innocence torn from its maker

Stillborn the trust in you

This failure has made the creator

So would you tell him what to do (would you)

Leave your mark upon the head of someone

Who`ll cry for his state, we know it`s too late

I turn round to see what was meant to be

Faint movement release to rid the disease

There`s innocence torn from its maker

Stillborn the trust in you

(I have lost all trust I had in you)

This failure has made the creator

So would you tell him what to do

(I have lost all trust I had in you)

7. Ending Credits

8. Weakness

Found you there in the blink of an eye

(I) miss you

Turned away into a thousand dreams

Found out what they mean

Lost you there in a moment of truth

(I) trust you

Gave away the one and only heart

(A) gift to tear apart

Stain me, save me

Take me to my home

Hold me, show me

Take me to my home

Weaker now, drawing fluid from me

(You) kill me

I`m not afraid of what you have just done

(But of) what you`ve just become
