Voice of Treason Lyrics
The mist is sleeping on the water
And winter is hiding in my heart
Thorns in my eyes are slowing me down
I can't pass through to the other side
She knows I'm the one who sought her
But when we fall, we'll fall so hard
She holds a secret and won't show me how
How to break the riddle in her eyes
This is treason of the mind and soul
Death is no reason why you would go
Inside the ghost of love is laughing
It mocks the footsteps where I go
It tells me nothing has been lost
It whispers: "you've seen darkness before"
In time the hurting will subside
And longing is overthrown
What's left is a void that grows inside
And the echo of a failure
This is treason of the mind and soul
Death is no reason why you would go
Have you ever had the feeling of a sorrow inside?
Have you ever been the reason why a hope subsides?
Have you ever seen the aftermath of giving up?
Have we given up?
Is it over?
Have you given up?
Is winter hiding in your heart?
And winter is hiding in my heart
Thorns in my eyes are slowing me down
I can't pass through to the other side
She knows I'm the one who sought her
But when we fall, we'll fall so hard
She holds a secret and won't show me how
How to break the riddle in her eyes
Death is no reason why you would go
It mocks the footsteps where I go
It tells me nothing has been lost
It whispers: "you've seen darkness before"
In time the hurting will subside
And longing is overthrown
What's left is a void that grows inside
And the echo of a failure
Death is no reason why you would go
Have you ever been the reason why a hope subsides?
Have you ever seen the aftermath of giving up?
Is it over?
Have you given up?
Is winter hiding in your heart?

The “voice of treason” in the song could be interpreted as the lingering doubts and regrets that surface after trust has been shattered. This theme of inner dialogue and self-betrayal resonates deeply, particularly if the song is indeed influenced by Åkerfeldt’s personal life experiences during his divorce. The lyrics encapsulate the struggle of reconciling with one’s own choices and the subsequent fallout.
