Moon Above, Sun Below Lyrics - Pale Communion - Opeth

You are sleeping unhampered by guilt 

Comes the morning you shut down 

The devil's breath is a disease on your lips 

Reaching out for your loss 

You prey on your flock 

Seeking out the weaker hearts 

With eternity in your grip 

And on a lifelong throne of sub-religion 

They will eat from your head 

With the moon above and the sun below 

I can't remember the sun upon my skin 

Slave to a sorrow that is whispering within 

I'm always waiting for you before I sleep 

There is no comfort in the distance that we keep 

In a river of grief I am drowning 

And your grip is surrounding my heart 

Balancing on the edge of failure 

And relieved, should I fall 

Scattered dust upon my eyes 

A winding road taking you nowhere 

A winding road taking me home 

And my home is my grave 

Waiting for a day when there is nothing left to say 

Voices of despair is a familiar friendship 

A society in your head holds the code to destruction 

Dying fast 

Summer dying fast 

And this can't last, as nothing ever lasts 

In a forest of flesh 

There is a need to sever myself away from happiness 

Still no drifting sun 

Black upon the earth 

Still the air is dry 

And the locust wait 

There is no help in the wake of our needs 

There is no help to dispel the pain 

There is no help yet some cling to a phantom 

There is no help, only circles on the water 

Only circles on the water
