Spoiler For Last Song! Don't Read!

[KielbasaSausage]

On "By the Pain I See in Others" there is a hidden message in the last few seconds of the song.



Fading away leave them long for sleep
Lead the way *rest is blurry*

Soothing trance colors fade disappear
Pale light showing me what i could do (without)?



Anyone can figure out the words i couldnt get?

 

[Ermz]

I just played it in reverse... if I had my headphones I could've heard, but I could hardly make out anything.

 

[Stinkfist]

Tell me where to download it and I'll try...

 

[muthafukka]

was that backwards?

 

[Ermz]

There is a word with 3 syllables after the first line... whether its one word or 3 words I can't make out.

And the last line definately has a without in there... unless its with thou.

 

[SFall]

I think it's 'Lead the way into death.'

 

[Ermz]

Yes, the theme seems to be the narrator dying, so anything along that line would be on the right track.

 

[OneFootBlaster]

I'll bet the "Damnation" cd opens with this- fucking creepy..

 

[Ermz]

The verses hidden at the end are all sung at some point during the album. I just heard one in Masters Apprentice... so no need to reverse the fuckin thing after all, haha.

 

[KielbasaSausage]

hmm i just found out that the backwards message in the last song at the very end, are the same lyrics in "masters apprentice" at the 4 minute mark.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Which are...????

 

[Kushantaiidan]

the end of By The Pain Of Others makes my SPINE TINGLE.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Yah same here, it's so evil sounding!

 

[Johan]

Is this transcribed line by line?

 

[bleedingskeptic]

oh, i see, everyone tries to figure out what opeth is saying backwards but won't figure out what arcturus is saying backwards...

 

[Ermz]

Fading away, leave them, long for sleep
Closer now, lead the way into death

Soothing trance colors fade disappear
Pale light showing me what i could do without

 

[Johan]

the final deliverance?

 

[Ermz]

I love that sound he hits with 'Withoooooouuuuooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut'

 

[Kushantaiidan]

THESE BACKWARDS MESSAGES ARE PURE GENIUS

 

[Ermz]

Sure beats 'join us'. Think I've heard that in too many Slayer songs...
