The Leper Affinity

Opeth

We entered Winter once again

Naked, freezing from my breath

'Neath the lid, all limbs tucked away

This coffin is your abode from now and onwards



Your body is mine to avail

Such a tragic sight you are

Slave under my creed

Spurring me with those tears



I am beyond death

Midst a dreaming affinity

Saving strength now, faint whispers

Come erotic communion in its splendour



Fever mirrored ghosts

Night-time consolation, cross the line

Draw murder into art

Sleep inside through days



In the wake of this relief

Shivering, longing for more

Insanity at its peak

Love me to my death



Lost are the days of Spring

You sighed and let me in



Keep the beast inside

Shackled within my hide

Screaming out too late

Losing to my hate



Grew together with your skin

And paced the trails of sin



Your gaze, covered with virgin snow

Rigid features….

It's the shallow deeds who's to blame

Deafening shrieks pierced the night



A step from oblivion

Moving into the dim lights

Hiding within a reverie

It was worth it for the wait alone
