Lotus Eater Lyrics - Watershed - Opeth

Liquid is in your throat 

For hopeless delight 

After all you fell in love with death 

Life has aborted 

All you've had and all you became 

The night is calling, you pray forth 

A barren waste is your land 

Crops they were sown to die 

This skin is a mirror 

The eyes hover with ignorance 

Hell throb from your lips 

Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep 

All years caring for a liar 

The barren drift road is winding higher 

You're a moth too close to the fire 

You are stuck in a beautiful future 

Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all 

Fleeting in sorrow 

Pushing your spirit away 

Seeking the weakness of dislike 

Whispered from the heart 

To be, we're all in the mourning 

To despair 

[?] 

Cries out: "The restless will also... die." 

Resurrection covered with death 

Drawing the life under one 

A fact tied to the earth 

The soul's a victim, a follower 

Oh, mother! 

[Incoherent growling] 

For us to see 

The blink of an eye 

And the pride of a mother 

Drawn close in a mother's son 

And the love from a father 

Was used by a father's son 

Over warrior's token 

Misspoken lives on 

The language unimportant 

So fair and so just 

All the land is taken
