Opeth Moon Above, Sun Below

Tekst piosenki

You are sleeping unhampered by guilt
Comes the morning you shut down
The devil’s breath is a disease on your lips
Reaching out for your loss
You prey on your flock

Seeking out the weaker hearts
With eternity in your grip
And on a lifelong throne of sub-religion
They will eat from your head
Your head…..

With the moon above and the sun below – x4

I can’t remember the sun upon my skin
Slave to a sorrow that is whispering within
I’m always waiting for you before I sleep
There is no comfort in the distance that we keep

In a river of grief I am drowning
And your grip is surrounding my heart
Balancing on the edge of failure
And relieved, should I fall
Scattered dust upon my eyes
A winding road taking you nowhere
A winding road taking me home
And my home is my grave

Waiting for a day when there is nothing left to say

Voices of despair is a familiar friendship
A society in your head holds the code to destruction

Dying fast
Summer dying fast
And this can’t last, as nothing ever lasts
In a forest of flesh
There is a need to sever myself away from happiness

Still no drifting sun
Black upon the earth
Still the air is dry
And the locust wait

Ah……… No, No, No – x2

There is no help in the wake of our needs
There is no help to dispel the pain
There is no help still some cling to a phantom
There is no help

Ah……… No, No, No – x2

Only circles on the water – x4

Only circles on the water (softly) – x2
