Watershed booklet to contain no lyrics!

[fränzi]

I'm guessing the lyrics thing represents the regular version's cover-art. In that interview, Mike says he wrote the lyrics in one night, just sitting at a desk, writing until morning. I'm almost certain that's what the cover is about. Coupled with the fact he says they're the most personal yet.

Maybe the one with the music tabs book counts as an edition?

What version is that? Do you mean some music tab book besides that 'best of Opeth' one that came out last year?

Anyway, I think the fourth version is probably the Japanese Import.

^It's the SE with Porcelain Heart tabs included

^Yes I was talking about that one...

i was just transcribing the interview i made with mikael on the melloboat ship.
of course more than 2 months have passed, so there are many things i didn't remember of that one.

but i noticed that once i said the word 'lyrics', mike stopped me just saying he was not going to talk about them.
you know the rest of the story

i hope to arrange everything and have the next issue of the fanzine ready for the 30th of may... seems here in italy the album will be out that day.

Heir Apparent -

Cold days
Cold waste
Cold lies
Cold hate

So many years to clean the slate
And lose despair within its wake
It's starting .. what used to be clear (?)
His gaze burning on the edge of a desk

now come
cold days
gore days (?)

[4:09]
I could kill you
my silent sebtember .. covered ..


Skeletal wish
Undone / Hunter (?)
A thousand lies
Cast on the throne
As he returned

.. you in for the meaning
invisible lies
see the twisted .. of doubts in your ..

Here's your gift
believer
your body of ..

.. isn't much like
Submit to nothing is what .. is ..gore/core

invisible gift
trying
to switch off the world
such ..?

..that we don't believe ..
.. she's a .. of a masterpiece

Devil in his eyes
Waiting
Spiralling, ..
Crash, found comfort in her arms

A shield from death's crown ?
..perception

..
in the end (?) of the sovereign
we are sold (?) your judgement

Actually I think it's a good thing not to have lyrics on Watershed... makes the listener to focus more in the musical side.

Well we do have the lyrics now...
And they make the album a lot better IMO.
