Opeth - Ghost Of Perdition lyrics

Ghost of Mother
Lingering death
Ghost on Mother's bed
Black strands on the pillow
Contour of her health
Twisted face upon the head

Ghost of perdition
Stuck in her chest
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Called inside the fog
Pouring venom brew deceiving

Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said
"You have to live before you die young"

Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said
"You have to live before you die young"

Holding her down
Channeling darkness
Hemlock for the Gods
Fading resistance
Draining the weakness
Penetrating inner light

Road into the dark unaware
Winding ever higher

Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed her byOpeth - Ghost Of Perdition - http://motolyrics.com/opeth/ghost-of-perdition-lyrics.html
Dedicated hunter
Waits to pull us under

Rose up to it's call
In his arms she'd fall
Mother light received
A faithful servant's free

In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained

The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give?

Ghost of perdition
A saint's premotion's unclear
Keeper of holy hordes
Keeper of holy whores

To see a beloved son
In despair of what's to come

If one cut the source of the flow
And everything would change
Would conviction fall
In the shadow of the righteous

The phantasm of your mind
Might be calling you to go
Defying the forgotten morals
Where the victim is the prey
