Lyrically, your favorite Opeth song?

[shivering corpse]

What Opeth song do you think has the best lyrics?
I would have to vote for Bleak, they're so dark and go so well with the song, and they're also very subtle, there's a lot of imagery in them , but it's hard to tell exactly what it's about, which is bloody good!

Wreath is very neat and a little scary.

 

[Ermz]

Face of Melinda, no doubt. Those cheesy lyrics toward the end get me every time.

 

[Parasite]

"April Ethereal" and "The Moor"

 

[poldarn]

The Moor and Face of Melinda no doubt. Ghost themed Wreath is pretty good too.

 

[phon1c]

probably blackwater park, great imagery, and the closing lines cannot be beaten

hmm yeah... I gotta say though I think the delivery of those last lines is better than the lyrics themselves...

Those are my two favorites. I'd say The Night and the Silent Water too, though.

BWP, leper affinity, wreathe

To Bid You Farewell....I relate so many different things in my life to that song.

Black Rose Immortal.

 

[Eirik]

I'd say Demon of the Fall... April Ethereal...

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Drapery Falls
To Bid You Farewell
Bleak
A Fair Judgement
April Etheral
Face of Melinda
The Moor

Demon of the Fall!!

 

[crimsonfloyd]

April Earthial and Amen Corner. Man the lyrics to that whole album are astonishing.

 

[HauntED]

Nectar, Serenity Painted Death, Face Of Melinda...

 

[warsofwinter]

It was me peering through the looking glass beyond the embrace of christ !! ... Ultimate evil

Wreath - darkest Opeth lyrics yet.
The Moor - emotional stuff
The Drapery Falls - love the part "spiraling to the ground below..."
Demon Of The Fall - dark as Satan's anus
