Heir Apparent Lyrics - Watershed - Opeth

Long days 

Slow waste 

Sew lies 

Sow hate 

So many years to clean the slate 

Endless despair within its wake 

His touch soiling what used to be clean 

His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams 

No more 

Cold pace 

Slow days (?) 

And again he rides in 

It's September and he covets the gullible 

Skeletal wish, hunter 

A thousand lies 

Cast from the throne of secrecy 

Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies 

See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair 

The insect trust, believer 

Your body a vehicle to 

Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind 

Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn 

Invisible king, dying 

Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow 

A burden so great 

Weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs 

The swift solution crumbles 

Beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece 

Death in his eyes, waiting 

Spiraling judgement, provoked in the rains 

This futile test drowned in the levee of deception 

In the year of his sovereign 

Rid us of your judgement
