 OPETH - The Moor Lyrics

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
The sigh of summer upon my return
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Fifteen alike since I was here
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Snuffing the first morning rays
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Weary from what might have been ages
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Still calm with my mind at peace
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
The lapse of the moment took it's turn
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Wearing my death-mask at birth
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Cold caress and then nothing
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
I was taken away from my plight
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
A treason bestowed to the crowd
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Ungodly freak, defiler
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Pale touch, writhing in the embers
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Damp mud burning in my eyes
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
All the faces turned away
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
And all would sneer at my demise
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Outcast with dogmas forged below
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
No mercy would help me on my way
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
In the pouring rain nothing is the same
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Vows in ashes
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
I pledge myself to no-one
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Seethed and spiteful
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
All shudder at the call of my name
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
If you'll bear with me
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
You'll fear of me
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
There is no forgiveness in these eyes
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
For any of you but one
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Dispel the mist for now
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Melinda is the reason why I've come
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
She is waterdrops over the pyre
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
A thistle in my hands
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Stained and torn, aged and brown
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Virtous shell with kindred innocense
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d

r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
I awoke from the miasma
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
Passing swiftly through the moor
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
This is here, waters stir
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
And in the distance all that was lost
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
If you'll bear with me
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
You'll fear of me
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
You'd never leave me to
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
A fate with you
r3n15221?1821514,nn18d
