Bleak

Композиция Bleak из альбома Opeth — Lamentations

Музыка: Микаэль Окерфельдт
Стихи: Микаэль Окерфельдт

 

Beating... heart still beating for the cause
Feeding... soul still feeding from the loss
Aching... limbs are aching from the rush
Fading... you are fading from my sight

Break of morning, coldness lingers on
Shroud me into nightmares of the sun

Moving... I am moving closer to your side
Luring... you are luring me into the night
Crying... who is crying for you here
Dying... I am dying fast inside your tears

Plunging towards bereavement faster yet
Clearing thoughts, my mind is set

Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me

You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest
And drains me away

Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine

Соло [5:22-5:40]: Микаэль Окерфельдт

Help me cure you
Atone for all you've done
Help me leave you
As all the days are gone

Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me

You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest
And drains me away

Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine

Night falls again
Taking what's left of me

Slight twist, shivering corpse
Ornated with water, fills the cracks
Clasped in my lims by tradition
This is all you need
