Opeth - The Lotus Eater Lyrics
Liquid is in your throat,For hopeless delight.After all you fell in love with death,Life has aborted all you've hadAnd 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 hollow with ignorance,Health runs from your lips,Sucked in and safe in a world of sleep.All those years caring for a liar.A benefit road is winding higher.You're a moth too close to the fire.You are stuck in a route of confusionChanging and waiting and seeking the truth of it all.Fleeing your sorrowsPushing your spirit awaySick of the weakness of the psycheWhispered from the heart of evilLuring them all into despairResenting the goods of a saviorAnd cries outFor the restless will also dieA selection culled from the damnedDrawing the life under one.A friend died in your roomAnd sought the birth of a followerOh, Brother!You're a killerAnd you target yourselfI wish you'd never come backFor us to seeThe beckoning endAnd the pride of a motherBrought flaws in a mother's son,And the love from a fatherWas used by a father's sonOverheard us talkingIn a smoke of lost hopeThe language of our partingSo clear and so trueOverheard us talking
