Black Rose Immortal Lyrics

"Black Rose Immortal" is a 20 minute epic by Opeth from their 1996 album Morningrise. Lyrics: In the name of desperation I call your name A lamentation I sigh Again and again Spiritual eclipse The gateways are closed for me to seek The night... A veil of stars, watching My shadow is born from light The light of the eye, in darkness Over troubled waters memories soar Endlessly, searching night and day The moonlight caresses a lonely hill With the calmness of a whisper I wear a naked soul A blank face in the streaming water It is cold in here Frost scar my coat with dust Eyes attach to your mute portrait We spoke only through thoughts Together we gazed, awaited Hours brought thirst and the rising sun Sunbirds leave their dark recesses Shadows gild the archways Do not turn your face towards me Confronting me with my lonliness You are in a forest unknown The secret orchard And your voice is vast and achromatic But still so precious Lullaby of the crescent moon took you Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face Granted you a hollow stare Another soul within the divine herd I have kept it The amaranth symbol Hiddin inside the golden shrine Until we rejoice in the meadow Of the end When we both walk the shadows It will set ablaze and vanish "Black Rose Immortal" It is getting dark again Dusk shuffle across the fields The evening trees moan as if they knew At night I always dream of you
