Opeth Ghost Of Perdition Lyrics

Ghost of Mother,
Lingering death,
Ghost on Mother's bed,
Black strands on the pillow,
Contour of her health,
Twisted face upon the head,
Ghost of perdition,
Stuck in her chest,
A warning no one read,
Tragic friendship,
Called inside the fog,
Pouring venom brew deceiving.

Devil cracked the earthly shell,
Foretold she was the one,
Blew hope into the room and said,
You have to live before you die young.

Devil cracked the earthly shell,
Foretold she was the one,
Blew hope into the room and said,
You have to live before you die young.

Holding her down,
Channeling darkness,
Hemlock for the Gods,
Fading resistance,
Draining the weakness,
Penetrating inner light.

Rode into the dark unaware,
Winding ever higher.

Darkness by her side,
Spoke and passed her by,
Dedicated hunter,
Waits to pull us under,
Rose up to its call,
In his arms she'd fall,
Mother light received,
And a faithful servant's free.

In time the hissing of her sanity,
Faded out her voice,
And soiled her name,
And like marked pages in a diary,
Everything seemed clean,
That is unstained,
The incoherent talk of ordinary days,
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear,
And what's within a haze,
What you should take,
And what to give.

Ghost of perdition,
A saint's premonition's unclear,
Keeper of holy hordes,
Keeper of holy w____s.

To see a beloved son,
In despair of what's to come.

If one cut the source of the flow,
And everything would change,
Would conviction fall,
In the shadow of the righteous,
The phantasm of your mind,
Might be calling you to go,
Defying the forgotten morals,
Where the victim is the prey.
