Lyrics:
In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again
Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek
The night...
A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness
Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust
Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows glide the archways
Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious
Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd
I have kept it
The Amaranth symbol
Hiddin inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal
It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you
How did we get to Heritage from this??

@rompzombie MYRH, SL, BP, DE/DN, GR, and WD show Opeth progressing towards a more progressive rock oriented sound over the years, which resulted in Heritage (which I personally enjoy greatly).

A truly great song, on an album that i consider a masterpiece along with Blackwater Park. I don't like the direction they took since Ghost Reveries, and while i consider Damnation to be a fantastic album, i didn't like Heritage at all. Thanks for the upload !

@veldringr no problem! i agree, true masterpieces (both Morningrise and Blackwater Park). I actually really like everything after Ghost Reveries (including Heritage), but that's just me anyway. :)
