Black Rose Immortal

Opeth

In the name of desperation

I call your name

A lamentation I sigh

Again and again



Spiritual eclipse

The gateways are closed for me to seek



The night...

A veil of stars, watching

My shadow is born from light

The light of the eye, in darkness



Over troubled waters memories soar

Endlessly, searching night and day

The moonlight caresses a lonely hill

With the calmness of a whisper



I wear a naked soul

A blank face in the streaming water

It is cold in here

Frost scar my coat with dust



Eyes attach to your mute portrait

We spoke only through thoughts

Together we gazed, awaited

Hours brought thirst and the rising sun



Sunbirds leave their dark recesses

Shadows gild the archways



Do not turn your face towards me

Confronting me with my loneliness

You are in a forest unknown

The secret orchard

And your voice is vast and achromatic

But still so precious



Lullaby of the crescent moon took you

Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face

Granted you a hollow stare

Another soul within the divine herd



I have kept it

The amaranth symbol

Hidden inside the golden shrine

Until we rejoice in the meadow

Of the end

When we both walk the shadows

It will set ablaze and vanish

Black rose immortal



It is getting dark again

Dusk shuffle across the fields

The evening trees moan as if they knew

At night I always dream of you
