Favourite Opeth lyric quote

- Start date
...I can't go nuts with this. I just can't. No time for it right now. I'm always going totally overboard analyzing Opeth. (It's just so much fun! 
)
Well, Italy got the "Under your command, I will obey." And Rusymetal got "Eyes attached to your mute portrait." listed already. Then I see that Blackheart put "Darkness encloses..." Kickass line! Ugh. These were some of the first few that popped into my mind. Along with...
I've always liked it when "Help me, cure you. Atone for all youve done." started up. I like the tone in his voice.
But, I've always cranked "Unto you I whisper, the wildest dreams. In the coldness of night. YEAHHHHHH!" in the car and screamed along. That's one of the best screams he's done IMO.
Then there's "The birds of the sun separates these dark clouds. While winds of winter sleeps gentle around. I am swore by the oath, to breathe..."
Love that.
There are so many kick ass lyrics. To have one favorite would be like settling for it when at times you are so into others. What about this.
"She is like waterdrops over the pyre! A thistle in my hands. Stained and torn, aged and brown. Virtuous shell with kindred innocence." YES! That is SO wild. The a madman genius with words! A poet!

"You sleep in the light yet the night and the silent water still so dark"
One of my fave lines from long ago.
"Dripping sin
Decision in stalemate
Dare to feel death at hand"
I think this tops some of the "sounds like rape" lines from SPD
I'm sure there are more, but my mind seems to have escaped my head for the evening.

"Am I like them?
Those who mourn and turn away
Those who would give anything to see you again
If only for another second"

(from BWP)
"Spiralling to the ground below
like autumn-leaves left in the wake to fade away"
"Sick liasions raised this monumental mark
The sun sets forever, over blackwater park" (i get the chills while listening to that)
(from SL)
"She is waterdrops over the pyre, a thistle in my hands
Stained and torn, aged and brown
Virtous shell with kindred innocence"
"Searching my way to perplexion
The gleam of her eyes, in that moment she knew" (i just LOVE the parts where "she" is involved)
I wont put all of em in here, thus the post would be much to long..

From MAYH - "When"
"This day wept on my shoulders. Still the same as yesterday. This path seems endless, body is numb. The soul has lost its flame. Walking in familiar traces to find my way back home."
From Still Life - "The Moor"
"I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
Wearing my death-mask at birth
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
Cold caress and then nothing
I was taken away from my plight
A treason bestowed to the crowd
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
Ungodly freak, defiler"
First post here, by the way

From the tune of tunes, the almighty The Amen Corner:
"The celetial touch
From grey to black
A phantomless void enclosing
Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs I cannot endure"
Fuck that's sweet. Thus comes the demon of the fall, it's why he's so pissed there! hehh. This quote so accurately expresses his anger and sorrow. And let us never forget the aftermath of demon of the fall that is Credence, the lyrics to this tune literally take my breath away. I can feel his pain. The man's a genius, there's no doubt about it. Mikael is god.

Abstraction of I
crumbling mirth
the song remains the same
"false love turned to pure hate" - demon of the fall
"your laughter weeps the truth" - credence
"there is no forgiveness in these eyes
for any of you but one
dispel the mist for now
melinda is the reason why i've come" - the moor
"i turned away my eyes
in pallor escape from the end" - moonlapse vertigo
"and so you left us
jaded and gaunt
some september" - the night and the silent water
"it was worth it for the wait alone" - the leper affinity
"your laughter weeps the truth" - credence
"there is no forgiveness in these eyes
for any of you but one

melinda is the reason why i've come" - the moor

"Our abode amongst the stars is waiting, long enough for our last breath of life.
You stare at nothing, right through me, at times resembling the Devil's concubine.
And me, I'm the idol that would long to caress your eyes until they would open no more.
I would comfort you if I only could, but as we all know by now... I am just thin air."
"And as they say, grief is only able to possess."
"I am sworn to the oath to breathe..."
"Under your command I will obey
In my vision
You are the embodiment of pure freedom
But through my eyes you are made of stone"
"Devotion eludes
And in sadness I lumber
In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered: 'I know...' "

From the eternal sea I rose
Veiled in darkness on either shore
Lost my pride, lost its glow
For me the sun rose no more
-Forest
I am sworn to the oath...
To Breathe...
...
Under your command I will obey
In my vision
You are the embodiment of pure freedom
But through my eyes you are made of stone
-TWILIGHT
It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you
-Black Rose
False love turned to pure hate.
-Demon
Deserted again
You speak to me through the shadows
...
Strange silhouettes whisper your thoughts, scream your sadness.
-Credence
Veiled in darkness on either shore
Lost my pride, lost its glow
