Hello, I am new here, I have a questrion regarding Opeth's lyrics. i think they are fantasitc, but some of the seem anti-jewish. Like, i'm not sure if it's true or not, i thought i would ask though.
I thought it could be possoibel seeings as they are from Germany and have grandfathers and fathers who was Nazis
I will give some examples
In the The Amen Corner, then amen corner was what Nazi's called jewsih shrine is death camps in
WORLD WAR TWO.
And the lyrics say
White summer. So far I have gone to see you again. Hiding your face in the palm of your hands. Finding solace in the words I do despise. You snatch at every sound. And even though you believe that I am shackled within death, memories are tainted with paleness.
It keeps mention white and pale, like they think it's better. And the shackles and Death , it scares me what all this could mean.
My ashes within your hands.
This sound like it's when they picked up the ashes of burnt jews. I have studied Nazi history in school and i know exactly what happened, and these guys seem to be saying what happened.
and in Karma
The rotting body clad in ancient clothes is left behind with a wave of the hand.
They made the jews wear stars of david on old clothes, is this what this means?
If Opeth are anti-Jews I am disgusted and will refyuse to listen to them. Nazi's were wrong. I loved thius band until i noticed this, but it's jsut to much. You are all nazi's if you believe in this, and you will all go to hell, to be with satan.
