The Grand Conjuration

Opeth · Ghost Reveries [2005]

Majesty

Faithful me

Pour yourself

Into me



Wield your power

Martyr's price

Stare me down

To the ground



The eyes of the devil

Fixed on his sinners



Slake my thirst

Eternal wealth

Heathen key

Round my neck



This poetry

Our blasphemy

Know the sounds

Of infamy



The hands of Satan

Assembling his flock

Pale horse rider

Searching the earth



Whispered conjuration

A belief takes form

Choking hand tapping

The veins in your throat



His orders in your mouth

A decree for domination

Beneath the tides of wisdom

Spins the undertow of hate



Injected seeds of vengeance

Usurper's eyes of the powerless

Clean path to his kingdom

Beckoning in the mist



Tell my why

Love subsides

In the light

Of your wishes



Say my name

Ease the pain

Clear the smoke

In my head
