OPETH lyrics : "Reverie / Harlequin Forest"

Into the trees
Past meadow grounds
And further away from my home

Baying behind me
I hear the hounds
Flock's chasing to find me alone


A trail of sickness
Leading to me

If I am haunted
Then you will see


Searching the darkness
And emptiness
I'm hiding away from the sun

Will never rest
Will never be at ease
All my matter's expired so I run


There falls another
Vapor hands released the blade

Insane regrets at the drop
Instruments of death before me


Lose all to save a little
At your peril it's justified
And dismiss your demons

As death becomes a jest
You are the laughing stock
Of the absinthe minded

Confessions stuck in your mouth
And long gone fevers reappear
Nocturnally helpless

And weak in the light
Depending on a prayer
Pacing deserted roads to find

A seed of hope

They are the trees

Rotten pulp inside and never well
Roots sucking, thieving from my source
Tired boughs reaching for the light


It is all false pretension
Harlequin forest

Awaiting redemption for a lifetime
As they die alone
With no one by their side

Are they forgiven?

Stark determination

Poisoning the soul
Unfettered beast inside
Claiming sovereign control


And now the woods are burning
Tearing life crops asunder

Useless blackened remains
Still pyre smoldering
