Lyrics:

To watch the curtain fall
Within an inch of the call
A thousand reasons not one to divulge

The sting of all that was
You medicate so willingly
As we endure the fall
To normalcy

You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue
Wait where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

Now it’s not the same
Though I dream awakening to my
Wasted days harboring the sorrows of a promise set to flames

So why do we grieve
Lying to, we’re lying to,
We lie ourselves to sleep

They force what lives out of all
What you turn away

You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue
Wait where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

You turn away
Who told you to wait for me

[cte]

Perfect. This is an example of masterpiece material. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat

[Jim-El]

This song cuts to the bone. I can relate 100%. Earthside and Bjorn bring the sufferings of this life into a sublime musical masterpiece.

To watch the curtain fall
Within an inch of the call
A thousand reasons not one to divulge

The sting of all that was
You medicate so willingly
As we endure the fall
To normalcy

You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue, wait
Where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

Now it’s not the same
Though I dream awakening to my
Wasted days harboring
The sorrows of a promise set to flames

So why do we grieve
Lying to, we’re lying to
We lie ourselves to sleep

They force what lives out of all
What you turn away
You turn away

You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue, wait
Where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

You turn away
You turn away
Who told you to wait for me?
Who told you to wait?
Who told you to wait for me?
You turn away (who told you to wait for me?)
You turn away

This is one of the most beautiful and best sounding things I've ever witnessed. You can really feel the music, and boy. Is it a great feeling. I absolutely love this! Having Bjorn on the track made things even that much better!

Searching Opeth songs brought me here. Great stuff!

[trowabarton]

Amazing song, I had to buy a digital copy of the album as soon as I heard it! Please get Bjorn back for some more guest appearances, he has an amazing voice and it suits this style perfectly.

If anyone else did vocals for this song, I don't think it would be as good. Bjorn slayed this!

Wow! What a great song with a fantastic vocalist!  I love the intricacies of the time signatures, meters, ambient guitar work, and vocals that fit so well.
