Nevermore - The Lotus Eaters Lyrics
"Why is this happening to me? Why have
I been forsaken? Nothing numbs the pain
any longer......please....I'm slipping away"
We fall into the spaces blind, the puzzle so unkind
we watch the random pattern form, insidious and cold
And bloom into the unknown
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
We take the hand of fate in vain, and wonder why your will
Seems cruel controlled and illogical
Do words fall on deaf ears, are we just too small?
Please make us understand
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
Please God why must we fear you?
Please God why did you take her away?
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
Please God why must we fear you?
Please God why did you take her away?
Are we your children?
Are we lost?

Nevermore The Lotus Eaters Comments
this is not a song, this is poetry. this is the proof that Dane and Loomis were songwriters.
Stepping through dark waters we yearn to know the purpose of us. Why, where, the reason, are we that dwell in this reality. Lost in the confusion of the spiritual and the now. We are all just in search of the truth.
RIP Warrel Dane. This band was my first taste into the metal genre when I was 13. Got all the Nevermore albums since then. Thank you Warrel!
RIP Warrel Dane. Your music will live on forever. One of my all time favorite songs here. Things like this will *never* die.
RIP Warrel
Rip warrel.... :(
R.I.P Warrel Dane. You'll be missed forever!
Goodbye Warrel. Goodye dear friend, hope you find peace...I never saw you, never talked to you but I cried so much. Thats what artist means.
Ανηξερος Τρικερατοπας agree. Totally agreed.
φιλε σε νιωθω απειρα ηθελα να τους δω οταν ειχαν ερθει αθηνα δεν τα καταφερα και ακομα το μετανιωνω απο τους μεγαλυτερους καλλιτεχνες για το μεταλ με αθανατα κομματια και κατι παραπανω απο απλος καλλιτεχνης για οσους ενιωθαν τους στιχους του
Are the lyrics "watch the random patterns form, incideouse and cold" or "it's hideouse and cold" anyone have the official lyrics from the CD (or tape) package?
Insidious and cold...the man used words that make ordinary folk run for dictionaries. Pure genius.
Great song, great bass into
So dreamy and dark and abysmal chaos
Great song
one of top 5 albums in my life
this is one of their best albums , all great but this one is fucking epic ! 😈🎸
That hand is so unsanitary.
Ryan Axline based on the album, yes, yes it is.
If I had to pick just one band to listen to forever more, It would be Nevermore.
Warrel was as Beautiful a Soul as ever walked this Earth. He has pierced the Veil and Tranceded.
Damn I wish Loomis and Dane would get back together and continue making amazing music or Dane gets back on sanctuary and kicks out another album like he said a year ago, but I am still hopeful. Amazing song.....
cant get this song out of my head its so well written and the guitar is awesome beyond words i think its in low c?
this is awesome but certainly not better then opeth ;)
This is the thinking metal fan's band. Opeth over Nevermore? LOL...right.
it is interesting...under every nevermore song i see this comment ^^
shows exactly how awesome the are ^^
Haha he goes to everyone song and listens then feels bad so posts that hehe
CHIMBA DE BANDA................. DESDE LOS SONIDOS DE BALADA HASTA LA DESCARGA DE RIFTSS Y DISTORCION......... GRACIAS NEVERMORE..........
Bought this album the day it came out...loved the way it melded into posion god machine on album...that is what turned me onto Opeth......SIGH...to bad no metal nowadays is as orginal or worthwhile as these bands.....if u have some that can please post em...
awesomeness made music
Thats what i was saying in 2000 :(
@lotuseater999 Thanks man, didn't know that lol xD
And I guess that you could use the term to describe people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs, or basically anything self-destructive, but no point overthinking about this :)
Can someone explain why there's a Nevermore song called "The Lotus Eaters" and an Opeth song called "The Lotus Eater"? I'm not a native english speaker, is that a phrase or term of some sort? What does it mean?
I don't think it is, but now that I type this something's commit to mind I'll reply again once I remember...
Yes indeed, From Wikipedia- in Greek Mythology The Lotus Eaters were poeole living off the N coast of Africa who ate the Lotus (personal kowledge here, it is a natural sedative) and slept in "peaceful apathy
Omer Sela hey buddy, you must read The Odissey by Homer.
Why is this band so neglected? They deserve so more succes than they have. Warrel is certainly one of the best and unique voices in metal, while Loomis is such a virituoso (even if he is not with the band anymore).
These guys deserve so more!
@nitinomatic Forever is just haunting..... Listening to Nevermore usually gives me the chills.... I guess they chose their name well...
@moviemaker3000 'Dreaming neon black', 'Forever', 'Insignificant' just to name a few of my favourites.
Damn this song is haunting! Love IT!
@bucketshredder u still listening to this song?
@cocoadog5 All right thanks man!
@cocoadog5 Hahaha well cool man, I'm sorta checking out their discography. I like their new album a lot! I also like the song "Born", and of course, "Believe in Nothing". Anything you want to recommend to me?
@cocoadog5 This guys are really unique. I'm surprised at the minimal amount of views their songs receive. It's sad, really..
Fucking awesome song and awesome band... NEVERMORE RULE!!!
