Opeth Reverie Harlequin Forest

A Re-Upload Of Another Fantastic Song From The Ghost Reveries Album, From Opeth.
Lyrics:
Into the trees
Past meadow grounds
And further away from my home
Baying behind me
I hear the hounds
Flock's chasing to find me alone

A trail of sickness
Leading to me
If I am haunted
Then you will see

Searching the darkness
And emptiness
I'm hiding away from the sun
Will never rest
Will never be at ease
All my matter's expired so I run

A trail of sickness
Leading to me
If I am haunted
Then you will see

There falls another
Vapour hands released the blade
Insane regrets at the drop
Instruments of death before me

Lose all to save a little
At your peril it's justified
And dismiss your demons
As death becomes a jest
You are the laughing stock
Of the absinthe-minded
Confession stuck in your mouth
And long-gone fevers reappear

Nocturnally helpless
And weak in the light
Depending on a prayer
Pacing deserted roads to find
A seed of hope

They are the trees
Rotten pulp inside and never well
Roots are sucking, thieving from my source
Tired boughs reaching for the light

It is all false pretension
Harlequin forest
Awaiting redemption for a lifetime
As they die alone
With no one by their side
Are they forgiven?

Stark determination
Poisoning the soul
Unfettered beast inside
Claiming sovereign control

And now the woods are burning
Tearing life-crops asunder
Useless blackened remains
Still pyre smoldering

Such inspiring music. Never have heard a death metal band feel so touching.

[GodheadsDamnation]

@mackhomie i think the outro is very very epic

[F3breez3]

I could listen to this on infinite repeat.....its just so fucking epic!

[SirMooseCraft]

Great Song!

[Shellewell]

@G35saregod To be fair, there are different sides of prog and Opeth are kina the face of their own side of prog metal, i mean, just listen to Heritage. Certainly more of a metal band than a prog band but i'd say it's more like 35% to 65%

[G35saregod]

@Gankzify id say 20% prog 80% death...you want real prog u listen to Dream Theater, Circus Maximus, and if u want prog on heroin u listen to Blotted Science. Opeth's songs are VERY easy to play in the first place. Try playing a dream theater or blotted science song. Actually dont it wont work out

10:03

HOW COOL IS THAT.

[thetoolivy]

2:38!!!!!!! <3 shit gets crazy!!! <3

[Sduibek]

@jeremiah77769 The best thing about this band is the lyrics - some of their most beautiful sounding songs have the most evil and depressing lyrics. Awesome >:D

[Sduibek]

I fucking hate the overuse of "epic" lately. But it's really the only word used to describe Opeth that makes sense. Epic, evil, beautiful, masterpiece, etc. <3

[yourmaker74]

some parts of this song sound like they could only be dreamt of by god himself

[MrRandomNumbers]

@mackhomie Wait, why does the outro suck?

[Unweonbakan]

@The1andOnlyIsgoth you can't say that Opeth is or was death metal, because it never was, Opeth is Opeth, it doesn't matters which genre is, it's beautiful anyway.

[Gankzify]

@The1andOnlyIsgoth Its never been death you dolt..Opeth is Progressive..always has..always will

[DepravedNemesis]

This is the kind of music I want my children to grow up with.

[johnplatt1]

my favorite part of this song is 0:00 to 11:44

[invisibleman811]

\,,/_(>.<)_\,,/ fucking eargasm.

[The1andOnlyIsgoth]

@jeremiah77769 It's not DEATH metal anymore >>>> SHAME!

[PsychoNotes]

10:03 Opeth rules!

[c9jester]

@MyMytalMajesty

True that. If I were to suddenly become religious, I'd have to join the Church of Akerfeldt.

[grawling]

@theHyperlite141 I'll take that blanket, thank you!

[Naaga88]
