Opeth - Lotus Eater lyrics

Liquid is in your throat For hopeless delight After all you fell in love with d**h Life has aborted All you've had and all you became The night is calling, you pray forth A barren waste is your land Crops they were sown to die This skin is a mirror The eyes hover with ignorance Hell throb from your lips s**ed in and safe from the world of sleep All years caring for a liar The barren drift road is winding higher You're a moth too close to the fire You are stuck in a beautiful future Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all Fleeting in sorrow Pushing your spirit away Seeking the weakness of dislike Whispered from the heart To be, we're all in the mourning To despair [?] Cries out: "The restless will also... die." Resurrection covered with d**h Drawing the life under one A fact tied to the earth The soul's a victim, a follower Oh, mother! [Incoherent growling] For us to see The blink of an eye And the pride of a mother Drawn close in a mother's son And the love from a father Was used by a father's son Over warrior's token Misspoken lives on The language unimportant So fair and so just All the land is taken
