What Opeth lyric says the most about you?

a fair judgement for me

Losing sleep, in too deep
Fading sun, what have I done
Came so close to what I need most
Nothing left here
Cut the ties, uncover disguise
Left behind all intertwined
Lost control, moved out of the role now
Nothing's left here
Leave it be
It was meant for me
Soul sacrifice
Forgot the advice
Lost track of time
In a flurry of smoke
Waiting anxiety
For a fair judgement deserved
 
These words always get to me somehow....powerful stuff (musically, vocally also, etc.)...

"Arrival...
I saw her standing in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night awaits the day
Standing silent smiling at my presence
A black candle holds the only light..."

also

"I stand motionless
In a parade of falling rain
Your voice I cannot hear
As I am falling again."

another I have strong feelings about....

"Bring me through
Carry my empty shadow
And guide me inside your warped labyrinth
To the well of sin
I swear I will always love you."
 
for me it'd have to be from Orchid's Forest of October:


I am so alone, so cold
My heart is too scarred to glow
I wish the sunrise to come
Take my soul (away)
From this cold, lonely shell
I am free​
:(yes... it says so much
 
It was strange when I quit a job because my boss couldn't forget the past and treated me like crap. I was really sad but, eh.

I turned away my eyes
In pallor escape from the end
Fading time to leave from here
And less to fulfill my task
She would be safe and firm
Nothing of this is in vain
Taken away from stifling grace
And saved from the past
 
what a great thread. it made me happy just reading everyone's choices. last year, i'd have picked something from morningrise (black rose immortal or to bid you farewell) but damnation speaks best to my life right now. sigh.

"in the rays of the sun i am longing for the darkness"

"there's nobody here, there's nobody near
i try not to care, dead eyes always stare
let these matters be, don't trust what you see
take hold of your time, step into the line
leave your mark upon the head of someone
who'll cry for his state, we know it's too late
i turn round to see what was meant to be
faint movement release to rid the disease
there's innocence torn from its maker
and stillborn, the trust in you
this failure has made the creator
so would you tell him what to do"
 
This actually is incredibly easy for me:

When can I take you from this place?
When is the word but a sigh?
When is death our lone beholder?
When do we walk the final steps?
When can we scream instead of whisper?


Guess I'm kinda sick of most things and just want to leave them. Yeah I know OMG ANGST BOY but yeah.
 
I can go again, right? :) I do like this thread. Yesterday I was thinking of those lines you wrote from "When", Iblys. ;) Sadly, today these lines fit my life...perfectly.

"A fathomless void enclosing,
Unwritten secrets,
Beneith the cobwebs.
I cannot endure."
 
Godhead's Lament

What would they care if I did stay
No-one would know
What would they care if I did stay
No-one should know

Thought I could not leave this place
On this imminent day
As I've reached the final dawn
To what's gone astray
What would they care if I did stay
No-one would know
What would they care if I did stay
No-one should know
 
Demon Of The Fall:

"Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.
And she had lost in me, her credence."
