Opeth – To Rid The Disease

There’s nobody here, there’s nobody near 
I try not to care, dead eyes always stare 
Let these matters be, don’t trust what you see 
Take hold of your time, step into the line 

There’s innocence torn from its maker 
And stillborn, the trust in you 
This failure has made the creator 
So would you tell him what to do

Leave your mark upon the head of someone 
Who’ll cry for his state, we know it’s too late 
I turn round to see what was meant to be 
Faint movement release to rid the disease

There’s innocence torn from its maker 
And stillborn, the trust in you 
(I have lost all trust I had in you)
This failure has made the creator 
So would you tell him what to do
(I have lost all trust I had in you)

Antimatter

Angelic

Angel cried last night; it was something in her dreams,
Carving pictures on her bedroom wall, she wonders what it means,
But gets by inside by saying it’s not real,
There’s no reason to confuse myself no matter what it seems.
Angel lied last night to amputate her fears,
With no question she exhumes herself from possibilities.
Close your eyes it’s fine by saying it’s not real,
There’s no reason to forgive myself no matter what it seems.
And if I could grow some wings I’d fly away home…

Flowers

I had a dream, far away from here,
Far away from you, far from all the pain.
With strength in numbers, the sad betrayal braves,
Return to desecrate those memories again.
And there you were taking flowers from my grave …
I kiss the ground but I can hardly breathe,
As you scrape me from the pavement once again.
Safety in numbers, you thought I’d washed away,
But I’m still waiting for the rain…

I’m still waiting for the rain…

The Black Goddess Rises…

Thee I invoke, bornless one
All woman, pure predator
Wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell
Like a seething fall from grace

Thee I worship…

Thou art darkest Gabrielle
Lilith who rode the steed
Thou art pale Hecate
Rising from Thessaly

Crush their unworthy idols
No church shall bar our path
Seductive Evil, drink your fill
Of the bleeding Christ in your arms

Thou art in my dreams
The darkness in my eyes
The rapture in my screams
Black Goddess arise

Nothing will keep us apart
We could kill them all
If our desire tore free
Our union is one, sweet, sinful Eve

As the night draws in beside her
As we embrace the dark with designs
I pour my soul to those eyes of fire
As I bury my seed deep inside

Archangel, snare the flesh
suck dry the ebbing wound
leave them lifeless and broken
my beloved…

Oh, how I craved for you
You so pure and other-worldly with your scent of Winter
Am I to bleed myself dry just to see your delight?

And the fear retreats forever
(come to me…Black Goddess arise)
When my secrets are buried in thine
(come to me…Black Goddess arise)
Under seven stars we came together
(come to me…Black Goddess arise)
To plot the new age’s decline
(come to me…ARISE!)

Ishtar my Queen
Come forth to me
And help me seize
My future from the House of Death

That in the release of immortality
I should slay their fucking Nazarene
Ah…the lies…the Jew…I kill for you

Hidden lusts will break the gates and swarm
As love secretes the thrill for war
The virgin raped shall seek to whore
She-wolf bare your snarling jaw
