Fuck I was like 10 when this came out and I remember me and my friends listening to this album for the first time (shortly after it was released) like it was yesterday, fucking good times man
@@mattiatosi8350 by the time I was 10, I was jamming out to Death, Suffocation, Necrophagist, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass. Other kids thought I was worshiping Satan😂😂😂 but the truth is I’m an antithiest
I wish I listened to Opeth back in the day I only discovered them after High School. Been listening for 5 years now and still I come back to their songs monthly. This stuff is art
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 Higher Higher Higher Darkness by her side Spoke and passed her by Dedicated hunter Waits to pull us under Rose up to its call In his arms she'd fall Mother light received And a faithful servant's fee In time the hissing of her sanity Faded out her voice and soiled her name And like marked pages in a diary Everthing 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 premonition'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 mortals Where the victim is the prey The phantasm of your mind Might be calling you to go Defying the forgotten mortals Where the victim is the prey
I envy anyone hearing this for the very first time. Within 4 seconds you jump and by 2:35 you are damned near crying from the beauty. Hang on though because by 4:07 you get punched in the throat yet again, from there it's just skull fuck, so hold on. If you aren't cranking this through a system you are wasting your time.
@@aFoxyFox. Just look up progressive metal songs on Google! You'll get exposed to a lot of strong composition based tunes like this one! Even though this is Death metal and Progressive metal merged in one
@@kzshrr Thank you very much! Do you have any particular all time greatest favorites though that come to mind? I'd love if you could list them all, here or via my email at theartismagistra@gmail.com
I really don't understand why you and the dude that posted this song on Smule, and you,have this one line wrong. This is a long song takes a lot of work. This is not your fault I'm really angry at the guy on Smule that posted this. It's not. Unmarked pages in a diary. Just go listen it's plain as day. He sings," torn-up pages of a diary". Ty
I can seriously listen to this 30 times a day and not be tired of it
It’s only like 30 times a week for me but I’m with you it’s quite irresistible 🤘🏻
Fuck yeah
THE GUITARS ARE CRYING.
Damn, playing and singing along is impossible lol
Me too, it's top beautiful
Me too
Best album by opeth, an absolute masterpiece from start to finish.
And this song, a majestic one!
I heard about this song from one of my friends, I really like his singing style.
I like how sometimes he can cut out the growls and speak in a clean voice.
@@fencingisb same
Opwth is the band that got me into death growls and yeah I love Mikeal's growls and singing voice.
that was in the past
OPETH IS THE GREATEST METAL SYMPHONY BAND OF ALL TIME
Uh ok
Bach, Mozart and Beethoven are listening to Opeth in heaven.
Well...Beethoven is probably reading the sheets
@@mattiatosi8350 oof
The song is perfect but for some reason 8:18 till the end resonates with me, deeply.
The last two minutes or so of the song are easy the best part
Thank you, Justin Grimes. You turned me on to Opeth back in 2016, I've loved it ever since
Fuck I was like 10 when this came out and I remember me and my friends listening to this album for the first time (shortly after it was released) like it was yesterday, fucking good times man
Broo when i was ten i was probably too scared to listen to Smoke on the water for being too evil, total respect🤘🤘

A friend introduced me to them in 2001, I was 19.
My science teacher recommended me this, love it!
Ha ya ya ya ya... Love this song...
One of my favourite melodies ever, gived me chills every time
Holy cow! What a great song! I miss these
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
Higher
Higher
Higher
Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed her by
Dedicated hunter
Waits to pull us under
Rose up to its call
In his arms she'd fall
Mother light received
And a faithful servant's fee
In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everthing 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 premonition'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 mortals
Where the victim is the prey
The phantasm of your mind
Might be calling you to go
Defying the forgotten mortals
Where the victim is the prey
Isnt this a lyric video
that's correct
I think that was the whole point of this video😐
The lyrics in the video are wrong in parts

I'm currently listening for the first time 😊
10/10
10/10
10/10
11/10
11/8
Are these the time signatures?
Thank you for the lyric video of my favorite opeth song
Omg! This IS THE SONG for me❤️
I like that it doesn't keep me hanging and waiting for long. I have 0 patience these days.
classic and timeless
MASTERPIECE
Me headbangs during ramadan
Can you please list all the greatest and most powerful songs you've ever heard or discovered? Titles with artists names and I'll look them all up!
I am here because of this strange article which makes mention of this song:

inshallah
4:10-4:55 The Best Part Of The Song Because Of The Gutiars at that part
The Part Of The Song is 0:00-10:28.
10:28-10:29 Is The Worst Part Of The Song 'cause it is the end of the song.
Good song.
Jesus bless you all!

Its so so sad, this is a song about his mom on her death bed about to go to hell.
These guys are my second favorite band, love them so much
What is first
@@noname-eq1yc Disturbed
u wrong, first is Opeth.
@@ricardorien it will always be Disturbed
@@selenayflanigan4714
Imagine singing this in your normal voice and than people hearing this
This would make an amazing walkout song in MMA.
Don't make me sad I said I repeat:
young justice
What about young justice?
why cant my headphones get any louder
What is he saying from 3:00 - 4:00?????
Nothing
Beautiful ahhhhhs and such
And some say Slipknot is the best?! What flavor of Kool-aid did THEY drink??
Definitely not Cherry.
Just please,PLEASE don’t compare two complete different genres. Its like comparing cheese and guavas.
