Too many...
Beneath the Mire
Wept for solace and submit to faith
In his shadow I'm choking
Yet flourishing
MASTER
Reverie
There falls another
Vapor hands released the blade
Insane regrets at the drop
Instruments of death before me
The Amen Corner
It was the only task I would undertake.
To reap the harvest that was mine.
The seed that had sprung into a florid meadow,
and left me helpless in your embrace.
The bond we never spoke of, once stark and enticing,
now slowly smoldering to dust.
The celestial touch, from grey to black.
A fathomless void enclosing.
Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs.
I can not endure.
And so I rose from my sleep.
The moon turned away its face.
Overture of the long, black night begins...
something you said: "Eerie circles upon the waters".
Wreath
Spiritual decay - Still seeking
Frozen in time
Mourn this departure - All watching
Calling me back
Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving
End of a search
Coming of morning
Calling me back
Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving
End of a search
Coming of morning - Returning
And my fave
The Drapery Falls
The whole damn song
Beneath the Mire
Wept for solace and submit to faith
In his shadow I'm choking
Yet flourishing
MASTER
Reverie
There falls another
Vapor hands released the blade
Insane regrets at the drop

i'm aware that this is probably the most overplayed, or overquoted song/section, but it too is my favorite. such perfectly chosen words to fit that section of the song.curbstone said:

"Spiralling to the ground below, like autumn leaves left the wake to fade away."
"Sick liasions raise this monumental mark, the sun sets forever over Blackwater Park"
"Walk with me, you'll never leave.
Wait to see your spirit free.
Tell me how your heart's in need.
As I drown you in the sea."
But the best one is:
"Once inside, I heard whispers in the parlour. The gilded faces grin, aware of my final demise. And I cried. I knew she had lied. Her obsession had died. it had died. When can I take you from this place? When is the word but a sigh? When is death our lone beholder? When do we walk the final steps? When can we scream instead of whisper? When is the new beginning, the end of this sad Madrigal?"

I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
And you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more, it ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby bye, bye, bye

"Silent dance with death.
Everything is lost.
Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
The blink of an eye, you know it's me.
You keep the dagger close at hand."
..Demon.. DEMON OF THE FALLLLLLLL!!
All of Harvest.. It's like the anthem to my life
"Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate"
"And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
turn away"
"I shant Ressiiiiisssssst"
"EEEEEEARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYAHHHHHH!!!"
"There's nothing painful in this
There's no upheaval
Redemption for my pathos
All sins undone"
I like isolation years .. it's like a tragic love song which is cool
A lot of ghost reveries is wicked too..
"Drown in the deep mire
With past desires
Beneath the mire
Drown a desire now with you "
blah blah blah.......
There's so much its hard to list them all haha..

when the vocals get heavy in The Drapery Falls... these will always be my favorite Opeth couplets...
My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects
Stare of primal regrets
You turn your back and you walk away
Never again (!)

"She, laughing and weeping at once, take me AWAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!"
Such a powerful climax.
I also find myself ALWAYS singing along to:
"I turned away my eyes
In pallor escape from the end..."
and:
"Came with the moon
The wayward in conscious state
Flanked and barred..."

"When driven into sin
Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed" -Deliverance
"Your memory is nothing but the scars on me" - Deliverance
"Pull me down again
And guide me into pain" -Drapery Falls
"We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed
Is for you?" -To Bid You Farewell
"Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night" -Windowpane

"Since 1981"
They are the trees... (reminds me of The Trees by Rush)
I stand motionless in a parade of falling rain
All of Blackwater Park, the song
There falls another
Vapor hands released the blade
Insane regrets at the drop
Instruments of death before me
His face was like the photograph
Painted white, we didn't speak very often about it
What does it matter now?
Each and everyone would die at my hands
Choking in warm ponds of blood
And a million others I am forgetting. Mikael is so poetic, but in the good way. He writes some of the best lyrics I think.

"Moving Into the Darkness" - Wreath
"We survey the slopes" - Advent
I like these lyrics not because of their meaning or anything, but because of how they sound with the song. For example, in Advent, i love the part when he sings that one line "we survey the slopes", i dont know what it is about that part, i just love it!
