i have a question regarding some lyrics in lotus eater, and i'm sorry if it's already been posted. right around 3:00, that whole part until "for us to see, the blink of an eye", i can't make it out. i'm also having trouble with a line in hessian peel, around 6:00, between the second time he says "the light comes on" and "so i left you alone"

erm... you have no interest in reading the complete lyrics? WTF is your problem?
Anyway, to the poster above me: since you missed it the first time, here's everything we have so far:

^ yeah, i didn't miss any of that, in fact i can complete a lot of your ?'s, except for the parts i mentioned in my OP. please allow me to post what i have:
1. Coil
She told me why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waited for nothing
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
2. Heir Apparent
Slow days
Slow words
Slow lies
Slow ends
So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams
No more
Slow pain
Slow deaths
And again he rides in, it's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish - hunter
A thousand lies, cast from the throne of secrecy
Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust - believer
Your body a vehicle to a house of disease
Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king - dying
Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow
A burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes - waiting
Spiralling judgement, provoked in the rains
This futile test drowned in the levee of deception
In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgement
Heir apparent
3. The Lotus Eater
The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight
After all you fell in love with death,
Life has aborted.
All you've had and all you became,
The night is calling, you pray forth.
The barren waste is your land
Your crops they were sown to die
The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep
All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away
Seeking the weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil
Luring them all into despair
Presenting the goods of a saviour
And cries out
For the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a life-line of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
Oh, mother!
?
?
For us to see
The blink of an eye
And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son
Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking
4. Burden
I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
A sorrow in me
I saw a movement in their eyes
That said I no longer knew the way
I had given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand
Waiting to fail
Failing again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You've taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
5. Porcelain Heart
I lost all I had
(That April day)
I turned to my friends
(Nothing to say)
I wrote down a name
(And read it twice)
I wallowed in shame
I said that I loved
(Eternal schemes)
I cling to my past
(Like childish dreams)
I promised to stay
(And held my breath)
I went far away
Icy roads beneath my feet
Led me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idle race
Ghost of an idol's false embrace
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
6. Hessian Peel
Will the children cry
When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same
(reversed
Out in the courtyard
come here tonight
my sweet Satan
I see you
Her longing for me coming down like hail
Why did you leave me
Come here inside
And tell me how
How in my final days
I'd find the rhyme
The light comes on the signal for us to end our lives
To wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
The light comes on
?
So I left you alone
We all left you alone
Lock the children away from harm
They're no longer your reason why
Seeking ? with a dagger
Skin is marked by the years of trails
You felt abandoned in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face of the moon to ascend
And followed the sound in your head
7. Hex Omega
Two years in your heart
One moment of doubt
Two lives torn apart
One second from now
Held him in your arms
Your fever subsides
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside
Still you always start running
Towards the light from the moon
We saw a mother cry
And left a space here
1. Coil
She told me why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waited for nothing
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow

Did you look at what I posted? The part in the lotus eater you're missing was there. You have it wrong. There's nothing about 'the blink of an eye':
O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end
O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself

I'd find the rhyme

You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
The light comes on
(Your weakness ?
So I left you alone)
We all left you alone
Lock the children away from harm
They're no longer your reason why

Two years in your heart
One moment of doubt
Two lives torn apart
One second from now
Held him in your arms
Your fever subsides
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside
Still you always start running
Towards the light from the moon
We saw a mother cry
And left a space here
Your mother told me to stay and your father told me to stay
They said I'm the son now and they told you that you never existed
My best friend who I'd been supporting financially told me I was nothing without him
A drop of blood was visible between her fingers
She gave me the cup of coffee and said I like you
I have always liked you very very much
There is a surreal painting on her wall
Looking at it I couldn't decide whether the person in it was looking at me or walking away from me
I had made it years ago and it was made as a self portrait of the future me
The address is already marked down in my map
I am very familiar with the place as I'd studied it since I drew the map at age
She was trying to get my attention by getting overly intoxicated
She said I had changed her life and that one day we would be married
?
Can someone repost the lyrics for me please?

The barren waste is your land
Your crops, they were sown to die
The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep
All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away
(Sick in) the weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior
And cries out
For the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end
And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
And the love from a father was used by a father's son
Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting
So clear and so true
Overheard us talking
BURDEN
I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
A sorrow in me
I saw a movement in their eyes
That said I no longer knew the way
I had given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand
Waiting to fail
Failing again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You have taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
PORCELAIN HEART
I lost all I had that April day
I turned to my friends - nothing to say
I wrote down a name and read it twice
I wallowed in shame
I said that I loved eternal schemes
I cling to my past like childish dreams
I promised to stay and held my breath
I went far away
Icy roads beneath my feet lead me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now - don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idle race
(Ghost of an idol's false embrace)
Rest your head now - don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
HESSIAN PEEL
Will the children cry
When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same
Her longing for me coming down like hail
Why did you leave me
Come here inside and tell me how
How in my final days
I'd find the rhyme
The light comes on
The signal for us to act out our lives
You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
The light comes on
(Your weakness ?
So I left you alone)
We all left you alone
Lock the children away from harm
They're no longer your reason why
(Seeking ? with a dagger
Skin is marked by the years of trials)
You felt abandoned in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face of the moon to ascend
And followed the sound in your head
HEX OMEGA
Two years in your heart
One moment of doubt
Two lives torn apart
One second from now
Held him in your arms
Your fever subsides
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside
Still you always start running
Towards the light from the moon
We saw a mother cry
And left a space here
Your mother told me to stay and your father told me to stay
They said I'm the son now and they told you that you never existed
My best friend who I'd been supporting financially told me I was nothing without him
A drop of blood was visible between her fingers
She gave me the cup of coffee and said I like you
I have always liked you very very much
There is a surreal painting on her wall
Looking at it I couldn't decide whether the person in it was looking at me or walking away from me
I had made it years ago and it was made as a self portrait of the future me
The address is already marked down in my map
I am very familiar with the place as I'd studied it since I drew the map at age
She was trying to get my attention by getting overly intoxicated
She said I had changed her life and that one day we would be married
?
Can someone repost the lyrics for me please?

^i think the beginning of HA is clear, he clearly seem to say "slow days, slow words, slow lies, slow ends", plus i believe that's what came out of the translation of whatever is in the liner notes, i dunno cause i can't purchase the album, but the lyrics i posted above are all i have and seem to make sense to me.

^what do you think it sounds liek then? i'm interested to know. to me, what i posted sounds correct, and makes sense. dunno wtf he's singing about but the way it sounds makes the most sense to waht i said. slow days, slow words, etc. i think this song might have something to do with the lineup changes in the band. i know peter's departure is something that has troubled mikael, probably still to this day, since they had played together for so long. i think lopez's situation might have something to do with it as well.
