Opeth - The Leper Affinity

We entered Winter once again
Naked, freezing from my breath
Neath the lid all limbs tucked away
This coffin is your abode from now
and onwards
Your body is mine to avail
Such a tragic sight you are
Slave under my creed
Spurring me with those tears
I am beyond death
Midst a dreaming affinity
Saving strength now, faint whispers
Come erotic communion in its splendour
Fever mirrored ghosts
Night time consolation, cross the line
Draw murder into art
Sleep inside through days
In the wake of this relief
Shivering, longing for more
Insanity at it's peak
Love me to my death
Lost are days of Spring
You sighted and let me in
Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate
Grew together with your skin
And paced the trails of sin
Your gaze covered with virgin snow
Rigid features
It's the shallow deeds who is to blame
Deafening shrieks pierced the night
A step from oblivion
Moving into the dim lights
Hiding within a reverie
It was worth it for the wait alone

Step 1: Listen to the entire song

Step 2: Be amazed.

[2Pac515]

everytime i listen to Opeth I hear one or two things that I hadn't beforehand. They are constantly surprising me, and thanks to their top notch production not a single facet of their music is lost. After that fucking solo and then the little break, at around 3:20 Martin Lopez just smashes that Cymbal and it lingers, setting up the next riff perfectly. My god, you could pick out any millisecond of any of their songs and find something that would blow your mind.

Listening to this for the first time was almost as amazing as listening to Blackest eyes by Porcupine Tree for the first time. I didn't know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised and instantly got hooked to the band.

[jonesy97]

OMG. That piano ending. Beautiful beyond words.......

[666Archimonde]

First heard this song When I was 10. Gave me eargasms then, still gives me eargasms to this day. Blackwater park, is simply a masterpiece, but No words in any human language would be good enough to describe how fantastic this album is.

[EnragedSephiroth]

@Vds4You Okay, perhaps multiple eargasms all throughout the song.

[davidb2112]

8.16 is one of the subtlest time sig changes ever. 7/8 to 8/8, took me years to notice.

[Vds4You]

@EnragedSephiroth So you're saying the eargasm comes when the song ends? Doesn't sound like very good song. :D
