The Amen Corner

The Amen Corner - Opeth

Written by：Opeth

White summer

So far I have gone to see you again

Hiding your face in the palm of your hands

Finding solace in the words I do despise

You snatch at every sound

And even though you believe that I am shackled within death

Memories are tainted with paleness

Crestfallen still

Those eyes empty like a barren well

It was the only task I would undertake

To reap the harvest that was mine

The seed that had sprung into a florid meadow

And left me helpless in your embrace

The bond we never spoke of once stark and enticing

Now slowly smoldering to dust

The celestial touch from grey to black

A fathomless void enclosing

Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs

I can not endure and so I rose from my sleep

The moon turned away its face

Overture of the long black night begins

Something you said eerie circles upon the waters

Until now

Until now we have shared the same aura

My ashes within your hands

My breath in the sepulchral mound

You know that your night is my day

The final spark that blew life into me

The demon of the fall
