To Bid You Farewell

Opeth

I am awaiting the sunrise

Gazing modestly through the coldest morning

Once it came you lied

Embracing us over autumnĀ“s proud treetops



I stand motionless

In a parade of falling rain

You voice I cannot hear

As I am falling again



Devotion eludes

And in sadness I lumber

In my own ashes I am standing without a soul

She wept and whispered: "I know..."



We walked into the night

Am I to bid you farewell?



Why can't you see that I try

When every tear I shed

Is for you?
