Mikael in an interview said about the new album Watershed.
He said he will never talk about the lyrics because they're too personal, and they will not appear in the CD booklet...
 
*I was looking for the lyrics in the internet and they're no where found*
 
 

 

well,if he doesn't want to talk about them or let others see them,look up another song you really like.
we all have issues in our lives we don't want the whole world knowing about.
if he wrote the lyrics,then it's his choice.

i Hate Opeth actually .so i dont care about the lyrics
but here the lyrics Angel
1. Coil

[Mikael Akerfeldt:]
She told me Why
She told me lies
Always take care of this

I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waiting

For nothing

[x2]
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by

And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow

When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by

When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that those years passed us by

And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow


2. Heir Apparent



3. The Lotus Eater

Liquid is in your throat,
For Hopeless delight.
After All you fell in love with death,
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,
Sucked 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 death,
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


4. Burden

I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
Some will ask goodbye
A broken line but underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you

Sorrow in me

Saw movement in their eyes
Said I no longer knew the way
Given up the Ghost
A passing minds and its a fear
In the wait for Redemption ahead

Waiting to fade

Fading Again

If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
Taken more than we've received
And The Ocean of sorrow is you


5. Porcelain Heart

[Mikael Akerfeldt]

I, lost all I had (one April day),
I, turned to my friends (nothing to see),
I, wrote Down a name (and read it twice),
I, wallow in shame.

I, said that I love (eternal skis),
I, cling to my past (like childish dreams)
I, promised to stay (and dwell my Grief)
I, went far away.

I see Blood spilled 'neath my feet,
Lead me through wastelands of deceit,
Rest your head now, don't you cry,
Don't ever ask the reason why

Kept inside our idle race
Grow seven idols, false embrace
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reasons why.


6. Hessian Peel

Will their children cry
When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same?

[reversed lyrics 2:03-2:22]

The longing for me
Comin' down like hail
Why did you leave me?

Come here inside
And tell me how
How in my final days
You found around

Your concern
The signal for us to end our lives
To wipe beneath the watches
And you wait forever

The night comes high
Your weakness
Storing trace on your eyes
So I left you alone
We all left you alone

[reversed lyrics 7:21-7:24]

Lock the children away from harm
They'll lock all your reason why
Seeking with a dagger
Skin is blocked by the years of trial

You felt abandoned in the fog of flesh
Sitting in place from the dead
Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend
You follow the siren in your head

In your head


7. Hex Omega

Two years
In your heart
One moment of doubt

Two lives
Torn apart
One second from now

Held him
In your arms
Your fever subside
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside

Still you always start runnin'
Touch the light
From the moon
Some way mother cried
Left us space here

Keep on Thrashing
