Edw oi stixoi apo ena gamato groupaki..Opeth
Opeth - Benighted
Come into this night Here we'll be gone So far away From our weak and crumbling lives Come into this night When days are done Lost and astray In what's vanished from your eyes
What came and distorted your sight Saw you benighted by your fright
Come into this night Your plight alone Carry your weight You are flawed as all of us Come into this night Your only home It's never too late To repent, suffer the loss
Come into this night When you're able To undo your deeds And atone with your lonely soul Once you're into this night All minds are stable Forget all your needs Lose the grip of all control

Opeth - Bleak
Beating Heart still beating for the cause Feeding Soul still feeding from the loss Aching Limbs are aching from the rush Fading You are fading from my sight
Break of morning, coldness lingers on Shroud me into nightmares of the sun
Moving I am moving closer to your side Luring You are luring me into the night Crying Who is crying for you here Dying I am dying fast inside your tears
Plunging towards bereavement faster yet Clearing thoughts, my mind is set
Devious movements in your eyes Moved me from relief Breath comes out white clouds with your lies And filters through me You're close to the final word You're staring right past me in dismay A liquid seeps from your chest And drains me away
Mist ripples round your thin white neck And draws me a line Cold fingers mark this dying wreck This moment is mine
Help me cure you Atone for all you've done Help me leave you As all the days are gone
Night fall again Taking what's left of me
Slight twist, shivering corpse Ornated with water, fills the cracks Clasped in my limbs by tradition This is all you need

Opeth - Face Of Melinda
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair The face of Melinda 'neath blackened hair No joy would flicker in her eyes Brooding sadness came to a rise
Words would falter to atone Failure had passed the stepping stone She had sworn her vows to another This is when no-one will bother
And conceded pain is crumbling mirth A harlot of God upon the earth Found where she sacrificed her ways That hollow love in her face
Still I plotted to have her back The contentment that would fill the crack My soul released a fluttering sigh This day fell, the darkness nigh
I took her by the hand to say All faith forever has been led stray I returned for you in great dismay Come with me far away to stay
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme But baffled herself with the final line My promise is made but my heart is thine

Opeth - Forest Of October
The memories that now rests in this forest Forever shadowing the sunrise of my heart Wings leave their nests at my coming Swaying away unto the cold glowing sky
Dreaming away for a while My spirit sighs in peace Gazing unto the stars Please, take me there
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
From the eternal sea I rose Veiled in darkness on either shore Lost my pride, lost its glow For me the sun rose no more
The forest of October Sleeps silent when I depart The web of time Hides my last trace
My blaze travels the last universe Like the sights of magic Wrapped in aeons My mind is one with my soul I fall alone While leaves fall from the weeping trees

Opeth - The Moor
The sigh of summer upon my return Fifteen alike since I was here Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail Snuffing the first morning rays
Weary from what might have been ages Still calm with my mind at peace Would I prosper or fall, drain the past The lapse of the moment took its turn
I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith Wearing my death-mask at birth The hands of God, decrepit and thin Cold caress and then nothing I was taken away from my plight A treason bestowed to the crowd Branded a jonah with fevered blood Ungodly freak, defiler
Pale touch, writhing in the embers Damp mud burning in my eyes All the faces turned away And all would sneer at my demise
Outcast with dogmas forged below Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born No mercy would help me on my way In the pouring rain nothing is the same
Vows in ashes I pledge myself to no-one Seethed and spiteful All shudder at the call of my name If you'll bear with me You'll fear of me
There is no forgiveness in there eyes For any of you but one Dispel the mist for now Melinda is the reason why I've come
She is waterdrops over the pyre A thistle in my hands Staned and torn, aged and brown Virtous shell with kindred innocence
I awoke from the miasma Passing swiftly through the moor This is here, waters stir And in the distance all that was lost If you'll bear with me You'll fear of me You'd never leave me to A fate with you
