ok, i know this is probably going to be a shit thread, i'm still kinda new here so please bear with me.

i also understand why mikael might not have wanted to print the lyrics in the liner notes this time around. that being said, i am still having massive difficulty in understanding many of the lyrics to heir apparent, and i just want to know what to sing when i sing the song aloud in private. i got the part, so many years to clean the slate, 'something' despair within it's wake, it's transforming which used to be clear, 'something something' on the edge of our days, etc... can anyone help me out with this?
thank you
 
Long days
Slow waste
Sew lies
Sow hate

So many years to clean the slate
A new despair within this wake
It turns solid what used to be clear
This keeps burning on the edge of our days

Now
So came
Dark days

...
..silent september lying covered in storm
Skeletal wish
Undone
A thousand lies cast up... secrecy

???
... lies
See the twisted, out doubts
Sinew fell
... believer
???

Submit to nothing..
Invisible cure
Trying
???
... animosities

Death in his eyes
Waiting
Spiralling judgement

(???)

Your judgement
Heir apparent

I just took it from some random website.
 
the whole fuckign song owns, imo, one of their best ever and definitely one of the best of watershed, but i have selfish intentions here, i love to sing opeth songs, to myself of course because i have a horrible voice and i'm always by myself so nobody ever hears me anyway. i just want to be able to sing/growl the correct lyrics. i've noticed on darklyrics.com that the lyrics to the whole of the album save for heir apparent have been posted. i guess i just don't have the proper brain capacity needed to understand mikael's lyrics in heir apparent.
 
Slow days
Slow words
Slow lies
Slow ends

So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams
No more

Slow pains
Slow deaths

And again he rides in, it's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish - hunter
A thousand lies, cast from the throne of secrecy

Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust - believer
Your body a vehicle to house his disease

Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king - dying
Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow

A burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes - waiting
Spiralling judgement, provoked in the rains

This futile test drowned in the levee of deception

In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgement
Heir apparent
