Godhead's Lament Lyrics - Still Life - Opeth

Marauder 

Staining the soil, midst of stillness 

Beloved fraternity to an end 

Red eyes probe the scene 

All the same 

Stilted for the beholder 

Depravity from the core 

Handcarved death in stoneladen aisles 

I hide the scars from my past 

Yet they sense my (mute) dirge 

This is when it all falls apart 

White hands grasping for straws 

Sly smile, poisoned glare behind 

Undisguised manmade nova 

Mute cry, don 't dare to tread 

Searing beams tracking you down 

Adoring what never has been 

Some will bring with them all they have seen 

Searching my way to perplexion 

The gleam of her eyes 

In that moment she knew 

Thought I could not leave this place 

On this imminent day 

As I 've reached the final dawn 

To what 's gone astray 

What would they care if I did stay 

No-one would know 

What would they care if I did stay 

No-one should know 

Still brooding, soothing clam 

That rigid, twisted face 

Blank godhead, tear my name 

Lost virtue, frantic lust 

Searching my way to perplexion 

In crumbling faith I saw her 

Bearing her pain in the wilderness 

The gleam of her eyes 

In that moment she knew
