Coolest Opeth Song Titles

[S<issors]

As a writer, one of my favorite things about Opeth is the kickass names they give their tracks. What are your favorites?

For me, it's (by album):

Orchid- The Apostle In Triumph

Morningrise- To Bid You Farewell

Still Life- Serenity Painted Death

My Arms- Demon of the Fall

Blackwater Park- Bleak

Deliverance- By the Pain I See in Others (For Absent Friends is also pretty cool)

Damnation- In My Time of Need (reminds me of Zeppelin; IMTOD)

Ghost Reveries- Reverie/Harlequin Forest. The Grand Conjuration, Isolation Years, and Ghost of Perdition are all close seconds.

The Night and the Silent Water
April Ethereal
Those are the only really impressive ones imo.

 

[Pethical]

The Apostle In Triumph imo too

 

[Esplendor]

Black Rose Immortal

Blackwater Park (though this isn't actually original, but the imagery I get from listening to the song fits very well with the title.)
Moonlapse Vertigo,
April Ethereal.

 

[Seance]

well, let's see *looks at list of Opeth song titles*... Still Day Beneath the Sun, Death Whispered a Lullaby, and For Absent Friends are diggable I s'pose

 

[Alteredmindeath]

The twilight is my robe
My arms your hearse
The moor
Demon of the fall
The Leper affinity
In mist she was standing

To tell you the truth, aside from all the track names in MAYH and a few others from other albums, I usually have no idea what the name of the song has to do with the song itself. Most of the time, the song doesn't even have the title in it's lyrics. I'm not talking about a chorus or a repeated line, but it has no mention of it. EG: Nectar, Masters Apprentices, Dirge For November, Hours of Wealth and so on.

I know this doesn't have much to do with the original post, but this was just something I was wondering.
