Heir Apparent

Opeth

    Continues after the ad

    Long day
    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

    Long days
    Long 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

    Continues after the ad

    Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
    See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
    The insect trust
    Believer
    our body a vehicle to him just the same

    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
    Spiralling judgement provoked in the rains

    Futile test drowned in the levee of deception
    His futile test drowned in the levee of deception

    In the year of his sovereign
    Rid us of your judgement
    Heir apparent
