Fave lines

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".
I don't know how or why, I'll never know WHEN.
 
-i'm not afraid of what you have just done, but of what you've just become

-i don't know how or why, and i'll never know when

-human harvest burning, blackest pages turning, twisted perception come true...

-you are just like them all, stained by the names of fathers, i'm greeting my downward fall, leaving the throes to others

-why can't you see that i try, when every tear i shed is for you?

-do not turn your face towards me, confronting me with my loneliness.
 
"So there I was.
Within the sobriety of the immortals.
A semblance of supernatural winds passing through.
The garden sighs, flowers die.
The gate was closed that day, but I was bound to carry on.
She could not see me through the windows.
In dismay, strangest twist upon her lips.
Graven face, she said my name."

I love the change in riff after the lyric, "Graven face, she said my name" I love his voice right there. It's probably my favorite song of Opeth is there is one.
 
"The gate was closed that day, but I was bound to carry on.
She could not see me through the window.
In dismay, strangest twist upon her lips.
Graven face, she said my name."
... so the guy above just said it, sue me.. i love this verse

"Ripped from my embrace,
Melinda reflected in shafts,
Red line 'round her neck
Met the earth in silence."
... Serenity Painted Death just might be my favourite Opeth song
... but there are so many others...

"Sealed the spell of my scrawny body,
Soil to skin, my next of kin."
... love this album SO MUCH

"I have kept it, the amaranth symbol,
Hidden inside the golden shrine,
Until we rejoice in the meadows of the end.
When we both walk the shadows,
It will set ablaze and vanish,
Black rose immortal..."
... another serious candidate for my favourite song

but how could i forget...
"You sleep in the light,
Yet the night and the silent water,
Still so dark..."

"There is no forgiveness in these eyes,
For any of you but one.
Dispell the mist for now,
Melinda is the reason why I've come."
... did I mention that I love Still Life?

... there are too many! God damnit! That's all for now...
or is it? - EDIT

"Sunbirds leave their dark recesses,
Shadows glid the archways."
... "English much, Mikael?" "Why no!"
I have no idea what this means, but I love it anyway!

"Am I like them? Those who mourn and turn away,
Those who would do anything to see you again,
If only for another second."
...FUCKING MORNINGRISE SO POWA~
