Pest Through The Air

[Stormwatch]

I've been looking at the Opeth T shirts and I like the two which just have the logo on front and a phrase on the back. "The Pest Throught The Air" and the other T shirt is "Look Your Last Upon The SUn". What do these lines come from? I can't remember seeing them on any of the songs although I suppose they must be in there somewhere.
Sorry if this has been asked before, the search thing cant find it for me.

Yeah, I've got the Look Your Last Upon the Sun shirt, and I was wondering what it was from myself.

If I'm not mistaken, it's from the book (I don't know if it was in the movie) Ivanhoe. If you've ever seen that one magazine where they showed Mike's apartment and cats and shit, he mentioned that his cats are named after characters from Ivanhoe. I'm guessing he really likes Ivanhoe.

Until 10 secs ago I thought it was "The Past through the air"

"The pest through the air" is from Moonlapse Vertigo.

"The pest through the air" is from Moonlapse Vertigo.

and "look your last upon the sun" is indeed from ivanhoe:

"Then take your place in the lists," said Bois-Guilbert, "and look your last upon the sun; for this night thou shalt sleep in paradise."
