Cover art for Blackwater Park lyrics by Opeth

The song is from the more from the perspective of the 'poet', establishing the assumption that the poet is describing his reason for creating the songs in Blackwater Park. Again, assuming this album deals with a psychosexual indevelopment, this song is like the writer of each of these songs saying that he never took part in these events from tracks 1-7, but he witnessed them or at least heard about them at some point, which inspired the creation of the album:

"sick liasions raised this monumental mark. the sun sets forever over blackwater park."
