And of course many titles in reference to months or seasons..
e.g. Forest of October, April Ethereal + Demon of the Fall (even though MAYH goes through the seasons), 'We entered Winter once again' (Leper), Dirge for November

Yes.
"There is failure inside
This test I can't persist
Kept back by the enigma
No criterias imagined here"
Is the name of an obscure 1860s Lithuanian prog band.
And 'deadly badgers' should totally be the name of a goregrind band...

HARVEST is an album name from... I think it's a folk metal band, but I don't remember its name.
STILL LIFE is one of Salvador Dally's painting.
MY ARMS YOUR HEARSE : I've seen that written somewhere, but I guess it's some rarely-used expression.
also THE LOTUS EATERs that can been seen in the book "The Odyssey" on one of the two first chapters. Odysseus goes on an island where there are some naked people (lotus eaters) eating drug-fruits.

I had never thought of Dali's "Still Life". Although I doubt thats the reference, I always thought it was an ode to Van Der Graaff. I've never heard of mayh as an expression, the Comus lyric is the only place I have heard it used.

Benighted - The main riff motif was stolen from Camel's 'Never Let Go', which was probably Opeth's most blatant thievery, heh, much worse than nicking album/song titles!

'The Lotus Eaters' is a song from Nevermore's 1999 (awesome) album 'Dreaming Neon Black'. Opeth have toured with them more than once, and Mike has expressed his affinity for them.

But it's not quite the same! The start of Never Let Go starts the descending pattern on the 5th (B) while Benighted starts it on the fourth (A)!!
not a song title,
but i found a possibly borrowed bit of lyric from an unexpected direction,
when i heard this i instantly thought of still day beneath the sun
awesome song by the artist "Seal":
Kiss from a rose:
"Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave."
still day:
There is a light that hits the gloom around
Shows the footprints round this grave
Dried up roses scattered on the mound
light, hits, gloom, rose, grave

'Still Life' is the name of an early 70s UK prog rock band; they released one album (self-titled) on the famous (in prog circles, anyway) Vertigo label in the early 70s. It's a good spin actually; the cover art reminds me a little of Orchid. Oh yeah, and I can't remember what song, but one of the lyrics is "Watch it all sink deep down in the mire", so "Beneath the Mire" could be a passing reference to that, though it's not exactly an unheard of term.
As for 'Still Life' being a Dali painting, it's a general term for a TYPE of painting, so the title has been used by thousands of artists the world over.
PS: Oh yeah, and 'Harvest' is also the name of the classic Neil Young album, though that hardly means Opeth's song title is a head nod to that.
