I am awaiting the sunrise
Gazing modestly through the coldest morning
Once it came, you lied
Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops

I stand motionless
In a parade of falling rain
Your voice, I cannot hear
As I am falling again

Devotion eludes
And in sadness, I lumber
In my own ashes, I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered "I know"

We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?

Why can't you see that I try?
When every tear I shed, is for you

    Who Cares what genre Opeth is? They are an amazing band and amazing in concert. The genre doesnt matter because it shouldnt change how you feel about the band, if it does then you are really fricken low.So just lay off the whole genre thing its not that big a fuckin deal
