Opeth
Pale Communion
1. Eternal Rains Will Come
Eternal rains will come
(and) We should say goodbye
(and) Suffer on our own
('cause) All their thoughts were wrong
So hard to keep the darkness from seeping through
When the flood comes to drown us
There's nothing we can do
Told me not to wait
(Un) 'less I could wait forever
('cause) There's no time for us
To comfort in what was
So hard to keep the darkness from seeping through
When the flood comes to drown us
There's nothing we can do
Here it comes
On the cusp
And endlessly
Can't forget
Reaching for the surface, I see you
2. Cusp Of Eternity
Child of Autumn was born
To a world of deceit and then a land of lies
Vagabonds would take her away
The star and its stems are lost in eternal sorrow
Ah…
She walks across the country
She holds her head up high in the rain
Mother was screaming for help
She turns around to stare at a scene from her memory
Ah…
She's hiding a wish in her heart
Thrown through a flood of waves that’s come from her dreams
And someone is waiting to see her name
Calling it to his side, the cusp of eternity
Ah…
3. Moon Above, Sun Below
You are seeping a hand put by guilt
Constant morning shutdown
Devils spread the disease on your lips
Reaching out for your lies
Pain of your fall
Seeking of the wicker heart
Eternity in your grieve
And the life flow gonna sum all the linger
It from your head
In your head
With the moon above and the sun below... [4x]
I can't remember the sun upon my skin
Slave to a summer is whispering within
I'm always waiting for you before I sleep
There is no comfort in the distance that we keep
River of grief grounding
River surrounding my heart
..................into failure
Reaching a bone
Devil comes upon my eye
Why their road taking me nowhere?
Why their road taking me home?
Home as my grave.
Waiting for a day
There's nothing left to say
Voices sound despair
With familiar friendship
Sanity in your head
Holes call to destruction
Dying fast
Sun dying fast
This can't last
It's nothing ever had
Wither flowers flesh
There's a need to sever
Myself for waiting nothingness
Still drifting sun
Like upon the earth
Still the air is dry
And the Holocaust wait
Aaaaa....
No,no,no
There's no help in wake of a need.
There's no help to dispel the pain
There's no help still some clean to phantal [?]
There's no help
Aaaaa....
No,no,no,
4. Elysian Woes
What's left when the morning comes
Is the memory of a future
When my blood is done
There is nothing left to hold onto
There were friends waiting at my door
They have gone now, for the air is new
Stalked by my word, when the rains came
Made it true and pure to dissolve the hurt
Are we nursing destruction
Pursuing a dream we once had?
Is it our intention
to follow this road 'til the end
Even if the end is a world of sorrow?
There is, there's a bond between us
Even if it's frayed, it's unbreakable
So I come for you always
And I welcome pain for a second of belonging somewhere
There were times when I lost my way
With hope pouring from my soul
Sheltered from the sun
Don't want to bear my scars for you

6. River
7. Voice Of Treason
This is weep beyond the water
Winter signing in my heart
Don't see my eyes, .... slowing me down.
Can't pass through to your decide
She knows I'm the one who sought her.
When we fought, we fought so hard.
She holds the secret, won't show me how,
How to break the riddle in her eyes.
This is TREASON!!!!
.................................
There's no reason
Why'd you go?
Aaaah....
Inside ghost of love is laughing
When marks frusted where I go.
It tells me nothing has belong that whispers
You've seen darkness before...
In time, heard the will subside
Longing is so overthrown
What's left, boy, the cross inside
When the air go, What a failure
This is TREASON!!!!
................................
There's no reason
Why'd you go?
And you never have a feeling of the sorrow inside
And you haven't been the reason why hole-up subsides
And you've never seen the aftermath of giving up.
And we giving up...
It's over
And you giving up...
It's winter,
Hiding
In your....
Heart....
8. Faith In Others
The grave of our youth is up ahead
Life has become a burden
Move in circles of suppressed despair
Waiting for the sun
Turning stones to find evidence
That hides in the recesses of our hearts
Written decree of the loss
Carrying the faith in the cross
And the cold years are coming
For the victims of the longing
Out through the doors of starvation
Into the wraith of damnation
Where the bitter winds are singing
For the victims of her longing
Carried a lie through squalor
The evil need to dominate and raise hell
Gives birth to an anger inside
We can control this
The blood of departure in our tracks
Drifting from our empty left home
Your hand reached out to hold mine
But you're grasping the thin ice
Asleep in the rain
It shallows again
The ghost in my head
Has forgiven me and lifted its curse upon me
