Falling inside again This nightmare always the same Still never enough Halting at the brink of discovery Moving into the darkness Leaking inside to cover up Dragging me down and under Entangled and undone at once Old memories I'm not in need but wish to know What are the tragedies The history behind the walls Pacing further down Familiar children's laughter Dissonant and out of time And their eyes are dead Watching myself in a pool of water Wearing the mask of a ghost Smeared all across my skin Rotten earth and insects Endless night Always preserving the calm Movement behind Bleeding animals in a field of fire There is no absolution Death is but a fairytale They are mere visions They are afraid of me Clear insight A smoke is rising nearby Dust covering my coat Blend together to spell my name Pale, covered me with sweat There are no words left Sole provider of death Distorted faith in myself Human harvest burning Blackest pages turning Twisted perception come true Captured in dreams connected Staring right back Spiritual decay - Still seeking Frozen in time Mourn this departure - All watching Calling me back Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving End of a search Coming of morning Calling me back Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving End of a search Coming of morning - Returning
Floating on mist crept up the caverns of my brain receving no warning from nothing to a life code walk with me, you'll never leave wait to see your spirit free tell me how your heart's in need as i drown you in the sea unwinding snares of distrust your wrist in my face grip look me in the eye, i'm clear this is your time face down beneath the waterline gazing into the deep from love to death in a time span of seconds oblivious to regret pushed into belief in liquid cellophane gasping for air mercy in my eyes is the shade of the night the piercing sounds you make soaring higher, higher now and once left in my wake your memory is nothing but the scars on me all over now forgotten why i needed this standing down disappear into the obscure resting days waiting for new disease biding time looked inside insanity it always burns within the downward spiral never ends when driven into sin your salvation's found in a sinner's deed the devil guides the day tells me what to say pours himself inside and snuffs the final light
Losing sleep, in too deep Fading sun, what have I done Came so close to what I need most Nothing left here Cut the ties, uncover disguise Left behind all intertwined Lost control, moved out of the role now Nothing's left here Leave it be It was meant for me Soul sacrifice Forgot the advice Lost track of time In a flurry of smoke Waiting anxiety For a fair judgement deserved
There is a voice calling for me There is a light coming down on me There is a doubt that is clearing There is a day that is dawning There is a wound that is healing There is a season waiting for me There is a road that is turning There is a fire still burning A sickness in me Constant pace towards the end The need is stronger This time the need is deeper There is a peace I am searching There is a freedom I'm depending on There is a pain that's never ending There is a rain falling only on me There is a dream I am living There is a life I am dreaming of There is a death I'm awaiting There is a home I am deserting i hold my breath and wait only moments remain movement for departed hope effect for absent friend sever the faith from my body leave me begging for more take what i have and deliver me into everlasting sleep soothing trance colours fade and disappear ethereal light showing me what i can do without in a motionless scense there is only me i take what i can controlling you to get ahead fading away and leaving long for sleep closer now lead the way into death every wretched dream i have left behind every waking hour i lie in wait sucked inside by will gone into the flood all my questions unfurled as i was put to the test once i'm below there's no turning back plunging into the deepest void departed shell left drained behind pacing roads unknown searching for a new home desert in my eye barren lands inside
Let me taste Let me feel I need to know what you keep inside No need to speak Just let it be Carry out this wish for me let nothing interfere Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil Discard your clothes Let loose you hair We're intertwined forever and have always been Say the word And I'll depart Upon your lips dwells nothing but the meaning of my cause And so comes the dark Vibrant as ever before Flowers already withered In this endless winter of souls Outside in the park The days move along And nothing ever changes They have nothing on us And we've always knew That nothing ever changes Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil This is ours alone Feeding of the warmth Lured out from inside Depending on the life blood Silently Whispering Move in me and set me free

So many years to clean the slate Endless despair within its wake His touch soiling what used to be clean His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams
No more Cold pace Slow days (?)
And again he rides in It's September and he covets the gullible Skeletal wish, hunter A thousand lies Cast from the throne of secrecy
Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair The insect trust, believer Your body a vehicle to
Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn Invisible king, dying Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow
A burden so great Weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs The swift solution crumbles Beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece Death in his eyes, waiting Spiraling judgement, provoked in the rains
This futile test drowned in the levee of deception
In the year of his sovereign Rid us of your judgement Heir apparent
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
달의 도시에 드리운 구름의 정체향수를 자아내지만 이 씬에서도 그다지 새롭지 않은 시도들인, 프로그레시브 락과 재즈, 블루스를 '달의 도시' 오페쓰(Opeth)에 소환하여 그려 보이는 것 때문에 이들을 '프로그레시브하다'고들 하는 것은 아니다. 발표하는 곡 대부분이 10분 안팎이고 예측을 불허하는 진행과 변조, 변박을 일삼으며 프로그레시브 메틀의 양식을 데쓰메틀에 적용해놓은 것 때문만도 아니다. 대곡위주의 전위적인 창조라든가 향수의 아름다운 재현으로 따진다면 마이 다잉 브라이드(My Dying Bride), 그리고 인더우즈(In The Woods)와 그린 카네이션(Green Carnation) 등 무수한 실험주의자들이 사실 더 진보적이었다. 여기에서 대곡위주라는 단서가 빠진다면 거명될 뮤지션들의 이름이 기하급...
