Funeral Portrait Lyrics - Blackwater Park - Opeth

You wait by the window 

Morning's breath on the sill 

Idle hands given another try 

So you wait and you savour the moment 

Outside the canvas turned white 

Ruby eyes in the fog 

Rain washing clean all the sins 

A liquid gown that covers all 

Your loathe turns endless 

Opened mirage sooths your sense 

Locked on the pinnacle 

The best secret within 

Like a derelict child 

Heart burning for a stranger 

Ascending to the meek 

Flock round the liars in awe 

Caked in the soil beneath 

Fear me when we meet 

Turn away in admiration 

My firm grip round the nucleus of joy 

Enough of this 

You will leave me now 

You will see it now 

Perish at my hands 

Close to you 

Tangled up in hair 

Fresh stigma looks 

Shall I take you with me 

And it is cold 

Ruby eyes in the fog 

It is me 

And you are just like them all 

Stained by the name of fathers 

I'm greeting my downward fall 

Leaving the throes to others
