Opeth

Opeth is a Swedish progressive metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1990. Though the group has been through several personnel changes, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt has remained Opeth's driving force throughout the years. Opeth has consistently incorporated progressive, folk, blues, classical and jazz influences into their usually lengthy compositions, as well as noticeable influences from black metal and death metal, most notably in their early works.

We entered Winter once again
Naked, freezing from my breath
Neath the lid all limbs tucked away
This coffin is your abode from now

And onwards
Your body is mine to avail
Such a tragic sight you are
Slave under my creed

Spurring me with those tears
I am beyond death
Midst a dreaming affinity
Saving strength now, faint whispers

Come erotic communion in its splendour
Fever mirrored ghosts
Night time consolation, cross the line
Draw murder into art

Sleep inside through days
In the wake of this relief
Shivering, longing for more
Insanity at it's peak

Love me to my death
Lost are days of Spring
You sighted and let me in
Keep the beast inside

Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate
Grew together with your skin

And paced the trails of sin
Your gaze covered with virgin snow
Rigid features
It's the shallow deeds who is to blame

Deafening shrieks pierced the night
A step from oblivion
Moving into the dim lights
Hiding within a reverie

It was worth it for the wait alone
