Artist/Band: Opeth
Lyrics for Song: The Lotus Eater
Lyrics for Album: Watershed [2008]



The liquid is in your throat

One 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



The barren waste is your land

Your crops, they were sown to die



The skin is a mirror

The eyes hollow with ignorance

Health runs from your lips

Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep



All those years caring for a liar

A benefit road that is winding higher

You're a moth too close to the fire



You are stuck in a route of confusion

Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all



Fleeing your sorrows

Pushing your spirit away



The weakness of the psyche

A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair

Resenting the goods of a savior



And cries out

For the restless will also die



A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one

A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower



O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself

I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end



And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son

And the love from a father was used by a father's son



Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope

The language of a parting so clear and so true

Overheard us talking
