LYRICS
The grave of our youth is up ahead
And life has become a burden
We move in circles of surpressed despair
Waiting for the sun
And turning stones to find evidence
But it hides in the recesses of our hearts
A written decree of our loss
And we carried no faith in the cross
And the cold years are coming
For the victims of a longing
Out through the doors of starvation
And into the rains of damnation
Where the bitter winds are singing
For the victims of a longing
We carried along through squalor
With an inborn need to dominate and possess
It gives birth to an anger inside
And we cant control this
The blood of departure in our tracks
Dripping from our emptying vessels
Your hand reached out to hold mine
But you’re grasping melting ice
Asleep in the rain
A child once again
And the ghost in my head
Has forgiven me
Lifted his curse upon me

Im so grateful to be alive, to exist in a timeline with opeth. Life is beautiful.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Amen!
Selling out is doing the same tired music out of fear you may upset record sales. Musical bravery is casting everything safe aside to create something you feel in your soul.... consequences be damned. Opeth has truly embodied the latter. Such an amazing group of artist! \m/ \m/
Well said.
well said!
could not have said it better,
Man I see comments like this and wish I wasn’t such an illiterate fuck hahah
Excellent analysis my friend. I discovered Opeth in 2006 Through Porcupine Tree and have loved every damn thing they've done. Absolutely love the transition to a more progressive feel, if you will. My favorite remains Sorceress. The musical creativity and brilliance is unmatched in my mind.
Man... the lyrics 👌

The grave of our youth is up ahead
And life has become a burden
I feel like I could enjoy this with a light drunk depression.
It’s funny cause the dude who put me on to opeth in general is a lightly depressed half functional drunk 😂😂 every time he puts on good music it reminds him of his ex, and he has to take shots, including this song hahah
My boah Arthur Morgan
@@drgenki6491 Are you saying Arthur Morgan is a kightly depressed half functional drunk?
@@V77710 Working with Micah made him drink
The last minute of this song makes me cry, always.
Same for me
It’s sooo emotionally powerful and vulnerable.
Gets me to thinking of my mother who died that I will never see again.
This is, I feel, the most honest song Opeth has ever made. It is a sort of complex confession, made in the most simple way possible. This is why it is beautiful.
Man, the vocals here. He's really enjoying that head-voice, that clear, high tone is terrific. Super emotive.
3:26....goddamn, Opeth are the best....
I don't care what people say, this is the best song Opeth has ever written! So much power and soul in one song! I can listen to this for hours!
This song in pure poetry. Sublime.
Undeniably agree. And despite the haters I love the direction opeth is going in. They'd always had it in them, the acoustic folk unfluences throughout their career, but since Damnation's release, opeth has truly come to form in their progression to this amazing incarnation of themselves as a band. Hard to look away. Hard not to love this.
You keep popping up where class music is to be found! 😆
@@RedceLL1978 True words
5:26 Those chords and those strings...most powerful shivers I've felt in a while
exactly!!! same here
This song never fails to bring me to tears
This song is so dramatic and sad
Same here ...
Listening to Opeth and this song in particular I feel like if Mikael had been speaking to us about his turmoils since the first record. I feel even in the conceptual albums there are pieces of his pain and his life embedded between verses. He hides his true purpouse behind beautiful stories and cryptic metaphores. He heals himself while making all of our lives better. Hope the phantasm of your mind never calls you to go. Love from Chile.
I would gladly defy the forgotten morals where the victim is the prey ;)
He was going through devorce and this song is for his ex wife :)
S2
Most beautiful soul-musical observation ever
Accurate dudo. A lot of the best artists do this; channel their problems into creativity. But the line on this album "Waiting for a day/When there's nothing left to say" troubles me greatly. 😑
What a masterpiece. I love how Opeth just keeps evolving with each album and they have a fresh sound every time. Incredible band
Thats the spirit of progressive rock and metal
yeah, this entire album is a freaking masterpiece, and it doesn't even sound like the usual Opeth! I mean, how cool is that? these guys can do literally anything.
Ariana grandé better
@@moimoi3899 nigga
@@moimoi3899 Your mama was better last night
I am probably much older than most of Opeth's listeners, so many of you may not remember the genius that was "Kansas"...Not the "Dust in the Wind" Main stream stuff, but the awesome talent of their never played in the mainstream works of genuine masterpiece music...This fantastic album "Pale Communion" so reminds me of them. Such an amazing album...Opeth never ever disappoints! Thanks for always keeping it real and not succumbing or selling out to the mainstream crap! You guys are a rare breed and phenomenally talented group of musicians!
They wanted a prog rock trilogy and they have recorded it... Such of melodies on these three albums..
The vocal production in this song is incredible. It sounds like a melancholy gospel choir. Mikes voice soars.
This song describes how I feel almost how I feel perfectly these days. I’ve liked Opeth since my teens, and I’m 35 now in two days, some people who have no clue in my life would tell me this music is depressing and makes my depression worse. They’re clueless, cruel and soulless. I realize now I’ve liked Opeth because like some others have observed Mikael is so good at channeling his feelings into his music, and someone said he wrote this while going through a divorce. I lost a woman I wanted so much, and no one seems to truly understand the pain I feel, they just blame me through how they treat me, but at least through lyrics like these I know someone else understands that pain. Faith in others is often misplaced, because so many of them will fail you and only act cruelly, whether they know it or not.
Jesus that's putting it straight.
Music is Spiritual.(except for Rap).
Music affects people on a deeper level than most people realize. It can heal, inform, build you up, and even change your conscious. I'll never let anyone tell me what kind of Music I should listen to. A lot of music I listen to scares people. That's their problem. More power to you. 🤘
We
Are
METAL!!🤘
Music therapy is there for a good reason. Has always helped me too all of my life!
@@MorlokKurak just because you may not like Rap doesnt make it non spiritual. You just havent found the right artists and maybe you havent actually listened to the words. Listen to Nag Champa or The Light by Common and tell me its not spiritual. Open your mind my dude.
The drumming on this song really reminds me of "Starless" by King Crimson.
***** aye :)
Michael Giles is/was one of the all time greats that many people have never heard of. Ask other drummers of his age say 65 to 75 in the progressive rock world, they know who he is!! Every drummer in King Crimson has been world class! That is where all elite musicians go.
Bill Bruford played drums on Red, the album with Starless on it.
Great drummer indeed! But it's not him playing in this song. He only played in "In the Court of the Crimson King". Bill Bruford plays in Red(and in Starless, for logical reasons). In my opinion, he's even better! King Crimson is truly an awesome band!
I was literally about to say this reminds me of starless
The definition of Opeth is a sad song, it's pretty much the first thing that comes to my mind. I love this shit.
This band is responsible for creating some of THE most beautiful music ever written and recorded. Thank you Opeth! ❤🤘❤
I can't believe I passed this off so many years ago. I was still too stuck on Ghost Reveries to give it a chance.
that's the best part about music, it never leaves and remains timeless
That one and Sorceress never completely grabbed me
Rip
@@jamespeterson4275 Sorceress is so fucking good!!!
2:37-3:10 when the violins come in, so thick and lush over the piano's progression, what a deeply moving composition. This is truly some of their best work.
Honestly... my favorite song of the album, it's beautiful. I really love this album.
I think Akerfelt is a genius. What an unbelievably talented man he is.
@@mattwinkett1808 Totally agree
This one and River are the best ones
@@jana731 i love eternal rains will come and elysian woes too. It is a musical masterpiece.
Opeth became my favorite band when I first heard them in 1999, and they are still my favorite. Their ability to incorporate / adapt to so many styles of music effectively is amazing. This one is fantastic and I can't wait to see what will be next!
I heard the singles and while i liked them more than heritage, wasn't impressed. This fucking album is so amazing, it's an experience. I understand people want the old Opeth music back but i think people should take the time to appreciate the musicality, atmosphere and pure genius that is Pale Communion. Opeth have proven that they are going to master any sound the want and i have the upmost respect to Mikael and the boys. This is the best album of 2014.
Opeth music goes straight to my heart... Don't know why but I love it.
I've been an Opeth fan since 'Still Life' came out but wandered away from them after 'Watershed' because I'd heard negative things about their musical direction starting with 'Heritage'. This week I'm catching up on this part of their discography and while it's very different, these later albums are still quite obviously Opeth at the core and amazing in their own right! That's the last time I listen to critics and haters!
They really really need to play this live. This might be their top haunting and melancholic song from the newer albums. Evem through their whole discography. Man what a beautiful song.
I've been a massive Opeth fan since I listened to 'The Drapery Falls' years and years ago. I own their entire catalogue & I can't say I dislike one song. This song is possibly one of the greatest songs Mikael has ever wrote, IMO.
Totally agreed!!!
If there was one song, one moment that sticks to your emotion at its summit, that would be this one thank you for this. It’s above everything words can describe.
Opeth is a classic band of the future. Akerfeldt is a genius, and on the last few albums he's enlisted some of the best damn musicians I've heard to take his music to the next level. This song is exquisite.
Saddest song Mikael made,paired with Isolation Years.
I mean,it's so fucking sad.
Always thought of this as a continuation of sad songs (past Damnation of course) with Isolation Years, Burden, and Faith in Others. Those songs just seem to stand out a lot and it's wonderful.
Perhaps apart from into and outro, I find this more beautiful and crafted than sad. Isolation Years... Isolation Years breaks your heart...
ghoawaynetcabo
There is so much written between the lines in Isolation Years. More than there is written lyrically. It's so concise it's absolutely genius. Isolation Years is proof that you can make a soft, beautiful song be far more devastating and brutal than a death metal song. It also leads me to ask myself a lot of tough questions such as, "What is it about the human experience that allows a single paragraph of words to devastate us like this?"
In my humble opinion, getting us to ask ourselves these kind of questions, and seek the answers, is the true value of great art.
Burgles Turds
Personally I think Hope Leaves is the saddest song they've (he's) written. This one is sad, especially the middle part, but Isolation Years is better. Hope Leaves is my favourite, just because the lyrics are so easy to relate to and the fingerpicked riff is simple but genius.
Cheximus "In my Time of need" is a personal favorite of mine I relate to, and I can somewhat play it lol
After so many years, Opeth can still turn out a masterpiece.
The most beautiful song Opeth has recorded, to date...IMO.
My favorite song on the album, and one of my all time favorite Opeth songs. I tear up every time I listen to it. :'(
"Where the bitter winds are singing
For the victims of a longing."
This part hits me so fuken bad every time and in every way...
My favorite part
Opeth hit it out of the park on this album. The only so-so track is Voice of Treason IMO. No more death metal, but dark prog at its finest.
I really hope they go even darker in their next album. This is magic.
pineapplepeanuts I feel like people who understand that the qualities that are signature to Mikael's composition/emotive conveyal are still on this album are few but then I see comments like these that make me smile.
The last minute of Voice of Treason is perhaps the climax of the album
The string crescendo before the last section of this song is for me
It's funny because I felt that way last year, but now Voice of Treason is my go-to song from this album
Me:
C'mon, you're a grown man, you can do this!
The song:
Asleep in the rain
A child once again
And the ghost in my head
Has forgiven me
Lifted his curse upon me
Me: (spasms uncontrollably)
This song inspires me to keep on writing songs and poems. Actually, Opeth inspires me in every moment of my life, even when I'm acting and needing to find the right emotion for my characters.
Elaine Thrash Thats AWESOME :)
I Hunt For the Leak
Thank you! ;-)
Geees.. this song is so haunting and touching! Roller coaster! From the soft soothing intro with the steady rhythm through the cold years singing and the crescendo with the strings and band interacting perfectly until the empty longing feeling at the very end...
This is nothing short of a true masterpiece and should be the soundtrack of the greatest movie ever. Opeth can not be compared to any other band (except Pink Floyd) in their uniqueness, musicianship and ability to write and perform songs that are out of this world! Opeth is not just a band. They are a genre and an era in music history!
Wow... this song really hit me... then I looked up the lyrics while replaying and ended up crying
"We carried along through squalor
With an inborn need to dominate and possess
It gives birth to an anger inside
And we can't control this
The blood of departure in our tracks
Dripping from our emptying vessels
Your hand reached out to hold mine
But you're grasping melting ice"
+Shol ́va RIchthys Alerfeldt is a genius
I crave to listen to Opeth everyday.
Like a drug.
And I don't feel good until I do.
Same Sharon. We share that. I intravenously ncrease my dose each year & it all gets even better. Akerfeldt connects the head to the heart through a scenic route in my dopaminic highways that no other vehicle can. Besides Sabbath lol. Keep increasing the dose and make sure your children and their friends and their kids get turned on...if not then who
This whole song is beautiful. So hauntingly beautiful. Beyond description. It really touches my soul and comforts me somehow. This melody in the end with it's violins, ugh just perfection... I started to cry. It seems like there is a lot of pain inside. But I need to feel it because it seems like this song understands me well. So thank you.
This is the track that describes my entire life right now.
Not quite lost. Just adrift.
Powerful stuff here. Opeth, opening up portals to many other worlds.
Never "Thumbs Down" for this amazing Band. Respect.
This song cures a hangover. Wow. Or maybe I'm still drunk.
Those lyrics... Like the warm touch of your first love kiss. Opeth truly touches my heart as well. Sometimes I long for their old death metal style but they are still genuine to me. So many moments drowned in sadness they'd helped me to pass through... God bless this band.
Pale Communion is like rains after the thunders of previous albums' grief expressed in heavy growling. You can catch that delicate wind of hope blowing from it, expecting something springlike in the future.
Life itself made into a song. Perfect ending for an album.
My best friend, now passed away for almost a decade introduced me to Opeth around 2003 with Blackwater Park and My Arms, Your Hearse. Everytime I listen to Blackwater Park, it just reminds me of my best friend. I miss him dearly still. But, Opeth, since then, nothing can top them for me. There are those that come close, but not close enough. I enjoy their evolution thoroughly. Mikael has really left a lasting impression on me and in my life. Opeth has been the soundtrack to my life. They never stop inspiring me. Perhaps it's the Swedish heritage I have...perhaps not. Perhaps they are just that good...Yes. All that and more. Mikael, if you are reading...by chance, I suspect not, but...thank you for the gift.
Lyrics are so so beautiful
It feels like the good old days listening to music on the computer and doing nothing other than watching the visuals of windows media player.
the good old days of listening to music were definitly not those we spent in front of our computers.
Breathtaking, in every possible way. I'm just so happy this band is still making good music.
I absolutely love this track. Words cannot describe the emotions the melody of this track have provoked.
Chills all the way through
Might be their best song in years.
Ken Peterson You have the same last name as me. And Id say it definitely is... now at least considering theyre taking 3 years EVERY album. Best since Hessian Peel for me.
Moon Above Sun Below, River, Faith In Others. best opeth songs in years.
Nah just Faith in Others for me. Moon Above is amazing tho
I Hunt For the Leak who are you?
I Hunt For the Leak cool, nice to meet you
This is perfect to listen to in the morning after a night of heavy drinking. Makes my hangover less painful
A great piece to end an album. I was blown away the first time I heard it.
This hits me hard every single time. I feel this in my soul. Grateful for Opeth.
My favorite song on this album. Spectacular.
This song sounds sooo good with a good pair of high quality mid freqs headphones. Acoustic guitar, vocals.
I keep coming back to this. For years now, and will for years to come.
" Life has become a burden " 💔
Asleep on the rain
It shallows again
The ghost in my head
has forgiven me
And lifted its curse upon me.....
*sob*
UberHeroMystic the hope stepped in as this verse ended.
unbelievably beautiful....
His ohhhhs at the end are unreal , i dunno how can he howl like this yet sings so clean and smooth. Best song so far for me in this album.
Inconsolable, and a masterpiece. So incredibly beautiful
It reminds me of 'Epitaph' by King Crimson ... amazing.
"Starless and Epitaph"
this song has been so important in my life..... I really love it , my tears are beautiful when this song is with me
Such emotional music
different ! but great as always. . .
that intro and outro, Nick ... that intro and outro ...
NICK MENZA Wow, it is great to find a Nick Menza's comment in a Opeth video... MASTER!
NICK MENZA Glad to know you dig these dudes haha. The more Opeth fans the better x3
A hero pays homage
***** Holy shit... holy shit... I just realized... I didnt even know, I hadnt heard this... before this comment... shit... Nick... shit
This is Heavenly and Mikael you are so gentle and hypnotic... you have a wonderful soul and I just simply love Opeth so much!
Soooo beautiful!! I would have the power to live eternally and listen to Opeth for the following 1000 years.
Opeth are such an amazing band so different from their early work love all their work. Shows just how much talent they have.
I discover the beauty of each track of opeth, breath taking....
deep, special and adored
My favourite from the album and one of the best Opeth songs!
Such a wonderful song to close a wonderful album...
Everytime i hear this song touch my soul. Opeth one of the greatest things in life. Thank you.
I love these guys, I got into them less than a year ago and I am wordless to even describe how amazing they are, you can feel this music, this is pure genius.
I've only read the first sentence of lyrics and started to cry. What a sad sad piece of art.
This song along with others like 'In the air tonight' or 'Against all odds' are a testament to how a divorce or a breakup in general are great sources of inspiration.
This is for sure the best song of this album, i dare two say is the best of the past two albums (Heritage and Pale Communion)
My favorite band so far
i don't even know what to say anymore, these guys have been my gods for years and years, and still are
The last minute is... indescribable 🥺
The aesthetics of this video are fantastic
Mikael.
This is my ode to you.
I don’t know you.
But, I’ve felt you.
Sunbird: Epoch 1
Verse 1:
I saw her shadow standing in the darkness
With eyes of fire, once unlit but now alive
Forever shadowing the sunrise of my heart
In the coldness of night
Through the vast, enchanted forest
In search for the words to write the missing page
Cloak of autumn shroud
Cursing me with every glance
Pre Chorus:
Devotion eludes; pain is all you revolve around
Embodied in faint vapour; the soul has lost its flame
Chorus:
Spiritual eclipse; the gateways are closed for me to seek
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses; shadows gild the archways
Verse 2:
A fathomless void enclosing
Torn by the arrival of autumn
Captured by the night
Unknown and scarred by life
Cold caress and then nothing
Adoring what never has been
In what’s vanished from your eyes
Lost sight of everything tonight
Pre Chorus:
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime; darkness reared its head
I slither for you and I'm dying; your body is mine to avail
Chorus:
Spiritual eclipse; the gateways are closed for me to seek
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses; shadows gild the archways
“Epic Solo 1”
Verse 3:
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
Release your grip; let me go into the night
Like autumn leaves left in the wake to fade
Like the wings of a dove, folding around
I’m greeting my downward fall
Catching the flakes of dismay
Verse 4:
Sleeping ‘neath the ground is me
Without you I cannot confide in anything
Entangled and undone at once
The downward spiral never ends
In a flurry of smoke
Sever the faith from my body
“Epic Solo 2”
Chorus:
Spiritual eclipse; the gateways are closed for me to seek
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses; shadows gild the archways
Post Chorus:
Carry out this wish for me; let nothing interfere
We're intertwined forever and have always been
“The river of life; runs blind and ruthless.”
I love this song, it's a masterpiece
One of the masterpieces of all time!!!
Holy fuck. How does Åkerfeldt even come up with these melodies. Pure eargasm!
This is a fabulous piece of work, my fave from a brilliant album - thank you Opeth!
Read that this song is inspired by Mikaels divorce and his feelings during that time. You can feel the pain and the fragility in the way he sings. Beautiful stuff.
This is the best song I ever heard.
Love Em' from Orchid to this, incredible as always
that song makes me feel happy about my gloomy past. So this is missing part of my life. They come together spectacularly and fullfill me from tsomewhere between emptiness and cold.
so moving, one of my favs
This song makes me cry so badly, every single time
Beautiful and thoughtful as always.
This song is so relaxing.
