Opeth´s "Bleak"

Opeth:"Bleak", (fra albummet "Blackwater Park", 2001):

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 movement 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

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

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

(Et af de mest succésrige heavy metal-bands i de senere år er utvivlsomt svenske Opeth. Bandets kombination af death metal og progressiv rock fejrer triumfer over store dele af verdenen, og at det overhovedet er kommet så vidt, skyldes især Opeth´s hovedværk fra 2001 "Blackwater Park". "Blackwater...." er en helt igennem fantastisk lytte-oplevelse, som har noget vidunderligt healende over sig, især på nummeret "Bleak". Hver gang jeg lytter til frontmand Mikael Åkerfeldt´s skønsang på "Bleak", forsvinder mine problemer som dug for solen....Magisk!!!).
