Hi.
Im new at the forums, I dont know if this have been covered before(used the search function with little sucess). Anyway I recentley found lyrics for prologue and Madrigal.

A morning in magenta, The petals fed from the dew
She held her breath for a moment, To pause off the stream
Still clinging to vast, Old memories
And I would marvel at her beauty, Playing through the rain
The coffin is beautifully engraved
Stained by soil, Symbols of death
All of which are stared upon, With porcelain eyes it seems
Some spoke, And it was my turn to go
In death entwined, I could not believe
But it hangs around my neck
A soft breeze passed me by, Somewhat warmer for a second
I knew it was the coming of spring, Thus our April Ethereal


and:

Our abode 'mongst the stars is waiting
Long enough for our last breath of life
You stare at nothing, Right through me
At times resembling the Devil's concubine
And me, I am the idol that would long
To caress our eyes until they would open no more
I would comfort you if I only could
But as we all know by now... I am just thin air
Unaware as you are of my presence
You are losing yourself
Hiding within The Amen Corner


The problem is i cant hear anything of this on the cd. Whats wrong? something wrong with the cd? Am I just going deaf? This greatly confuses me.
 
No you are not going deaf. The songs are instrumental, but there are lyrics in the booklet that continue the story up to the next track.

Why, WELCOME! :wave:
 
hey those interviews have come in handy, from the man akerfeldt himself

interviewer: My Arms, Your Hearse... Why are there some songs with lyric but no vocals?
Mike: I wanted it to be a flowing concept, with lyrics to every minute of
music basically. The instrumental tracks are enhancing the mood of the lyrics unsung. It's like a mute narration, really!
