opeth - still day beneath the sun

Still Day has to be one of my favorite Opeth songs, lyrically. The "Souls of those for whom we cry" line is just gorgeous.

I just wish Mikael would have transcribed the entire Leaving, Grieving part (it's tough to make out exactly what he's saying), but you can't complain. At least he posted here at all.
 
Yeah, I can't make out some of that since it could be a lot of things.

Hello Ivanohe....
Why don't you get them at KazaA?
If you don't want, take a look at some posts ago...a guy created a link for us to download these songs, but I don't know if it's working up to now.

Thanx rosa but I can't use Kazaa or soft like that...
I saw a post where someone made the songs available at yahoo for a short time, but when I tried it was too late ... :erk:

Still day beneath the sun

There is a light that hits the gloom around
Shows the footprints round this grave
Dried up roses scattered on the mound
Honouring the one engraved

Will ever the morning
Carry away
The souls of those for whom we cry

Black procession through the narrow aisles
Another’s gone for all to see
Near the site for one who lost his trials
Sleeping neath the ground is me

Still day beneath the sun
Asking you who is the one
And when the day is late
We know who must forever wait

I can't help but think of these lyrics:

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen
Baby
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh
The more I get of you
Stranger it feels yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
