SONG LYRICS & CHORDS (C)

Again it’s around seven / I’m burning like a candlelight / I don’t know where I’m going...

[Mikael Akerfeldt:] / She told me / Why she told me lies...

My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle, / But I learned how to roll along. / My papa said son, gotta git some fun,...

Hear Me now! / All crimes should be treasured, / if they bring thee pleasure somehow....

Care for a little necrophilia, hmm? / I was born with a birthmark of cinders. / Debris cast from the stars and mother....

Spawned wanton like blight on an auspicious night, / her eyes betrayed spells of the moon's eerie light. / A disquieting gaze forever ghosting far seas....

You stand before this court, accused of heresy and witch craft. How do you / plead? / Not guilty!...

Behind the scenes of destiny / I adore you in this song for me / Call me within your holy house to dwell...

Mirror, mirror on the wall! / Shouldn't not grave pleasures be my all? / For if I shall see thy will be done,...

Her bouquets are wilted, too long has she slept. / Their cruel red mouths darkened to bowed silhouettes. / I saw in a new moon with her scent on my breath,...

An archangel in bondage, bediademed and souled. / With a murder of ravens, but no less Astarte to behold. / Abandoned by heaven to the dead, dark and past....

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake, / and the mists steal in with ease. / Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes,...

Winter ice - Terminal frost / Closing eyes of the equinox / Dimensional change - darkening skies...

Sister midnight comes blaspheming / Screaming in the keys of faith and fear / Unentwining our spines twists me to kneeling......

Existing on damnation's edge / The priest had never known / To witness such a violent show...

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime / Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time / Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole...

Midwinter wrongs the rites of spring, / her spinal chill rakes the earth. / Whilst pensive souls at zero sing,...

The moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait, / soft winds whisper the bidding of trees. / As this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart,...

Candelabra snuffed prey, silhouette wedded. / Nightfall, take my hand! / Seduce me with silky timbred limbs....

Mirror, mirror on the wall! / Shouldn't not grave pleasures be my all? / For if I shall see thy will be done,...

Two thousand fattened years like maniacs, / have despoiled our common grave. / Now what necrophagous second coming backs,...

Through arcades where shimmering snowfall, / lay in state with the sad and damned. / A rent lament barely flung above a whisper,...

Take away the wine, for restlessness plagues me. / I am assailed by a spectre profounder, / than hatred and grief or the sum of their hideous crime....

Night after night / Day after day / Hours and seconds to go...

Your eyes are open but do you really see / Unhearing ears that won't listen to thee / You speak in riddles, it's a twisted truth...

[ROMANJI] / tomaru koto nai kuon motomeru agaki / sanzameku machi sameta me de mitsumeteru...

Music: Brodén / Lyrics: Brodén/Sundström / Hear them whisper voices from the other side...

Well I don't know where they come from, but they sure do come / I hope they're coming for me / And I don't know how they do it, but they do it real good...

Hear them whisper / voices from the other side / hear them calling...

When evening falls / She'll run to me / Like whispered dreams...
