OPETH LYRICS
"River"
Show me a sign of troubles in your heart
Spare me your lies and tell me that you're mine
And our bodies float on the river
To the oceans of demise
Made me a slave to the secrets of your silence
But you told me to stay
And you told me you're mine
And our bodies float on the river
To the oceans of demise
In light of all things to come, why do you despair?
Because when you have no one, no one would care
So don't care
And all things will come undone
There is nothing to share
I'll be waiting for no one
And no one is there to care
Can't see, can't feel
You run, I long
I wait, he comes
Takes you away
In the embers of summer
All things must die
There's a passage of fire ahead
Fire on the other side
There comes a time when the river runs dry
Winter comes and we sacrifice
Our lives
Spare me your lies and tell me that you're mine
And our bodies float on the river
To the oceans of demise
Made me a slave to the secrets of your silence
But you told me to stay
And you told me you're mine
And our bodies float on the river
To the oceans of demise
In light of all things to come, why do you despair?
Because when you have no one, no one would care
So don't care
And all things will come undone
There is nothing to share
I'll be waiting for no one
And no one is there to care
Can't see, can't feel
You run, I long
I wait, he comes
Takes you away
In the embers of summer
All things must die
There's a passage of fire ahead
Fire on the other side
There comes a time when the river runs dry
Winter comes and we sacrifice
Our lives
"Elysian Woes"
What is left when the morning comes
Is the memory of a future
And when my plight is done
There is nothing left to hold onto
There were friends waiting at my door
They are gone now, for the year is new
I stuck by my word
And when the rains came
Made it true and pure, to dissolve the hurt
Are we nursing destruction?
Pursuing a dream we once had
Was it our intention
to follow this road 'til the end
Even if the end is a world of sorrow?
There is a bond between us
Even if it's frayed it is unbreakable
So I come for you always
And I welcome pain
For a second of belonging somewhere
There were times when I lost my way
With hope pouring from my soul
In a shelter from the sun
I don't want to bare my scars for you
Is the memory of a future
And when my plight is done
There is nothing left to hold onto
There were friends waiting at my door
They are gone now, for the year is new
I stuck by my word
And when the rains came
Made it true and pure, to dissolve the hurt
Are we nursing destruction?
Pursuing a dream we once had
Was it our intention
to follow this road 'til the end
Even if the end is a world of sorrow?
There is a bond between us
Even if it's frayed it is unbreakable
So I come for you always
And I welcome pain
For a second of belonging somewhere
There were times when I lost my way
With hope pouring from my soul
In a shelter from the sun
I don't want to bare my scars for you
