Opeth - A Fair Judgement Lyrics






Losing sleep, in too deep
Fading sun, what have I done
Came so close to what I need most
Nothing left here
Cut the ties, uncover disguise
Left behind all intertwined
Lost control, moved out of the role now
Nothing's left here
Leave it be
It was meant for me
Soul sacrifice
Forgot the advice
Lost track of time
In a flurry of smoke
Waiting anxiety
For a fair judgement deserved

Opeth A Fair Judgement Comments
  1. o.... m....

    İmo this song is kind of a crying wall for the ones who miss old opeth. Such poetic and dark!

  4. K.... P....

    This is the most horror a band can bring.

    K.... P....

    Or any artist

  5. A.... C....

    Everyone seems to be raving over that solo, which is apparently great but no one bothers to mention that disgusting satan summoning outro -- great song!

  6. e.... o....

    Que maldita obra de arte!!!

  7. E.... A....

    You guys are so good

  8. D.... H....

    Imagine if Alice In Chains covered this song instead of Would.

    D.... H....

    "Would" is AIC's song. Opeth covered it not the other way around

  9. B.... ....

    4:32 the feels button

  10. D.... M....

    The intro chord progression reminds of Lady Fantasy by Camel

  11. R.... L....

    what a beaultiful song.

  12. E.... R....

    Quién escucha Opeth desde Costa Rica? los amoo!!!!

    E.... R....

    Song's name is "Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalım"

  16. S.... T....

    You just sorted by newest first

  17. C.... T....

    The first time I heard the line "Leave it be, it was meant for me" with that soft, desolate tone of Akerfeldt's voice I was innocently working behind the computer at the office and I suddenly burst into tears. It was so embarrassing and awkward to explain the situation to my colleagues who mainly listen to radio pop as background music.

    You're tearing me apart Mikael!

    C.... T....

    We have all had those situations. A bit off topic, but still: I had my occurence when I watched "Norwegian electric shock football". The only way football will be interesting. :-)

    C.... T....

    You're a man of culture as well

    C.... T....

    That's great, and I have been there.. Haha.. a few times

  18. G.... F....

    omg i'm so addicted to opeth

  19. g.... ....

    Opeth, this is life.

  20. d.... ....

    That ending.. Right into blackish Opeths roots <3

  21. A.... B....

    wow! muchas gracias! muy buena musica!

  22. A.... A....

    Compare this to new Dignity track, you snob hipsters shits!

  23. A.... N....

    This music is the mirror where i can see myself

    A.... N....

    That's ok. We all deeply regret more than once.

    A.... N....

    @WarmGoathirette and in every deep regret is a great lesson.

  24. n.... ....

    this band is so fuckin good

  25. M.... N....

    Waiting anxiety

    Gerçekten yok mu hiç Türk...

    M.... Z....

    ... deliverance albümünden beri buradayız biz kalabalığız da galiba... sen hoş geldin..

  27. N.... ....

    why is nobody talking about the 1:53 & 3:03 riff?? those two parts are beautiful af :)

  28. T.... E....

    liek if u cri evrytiem

  29. D.... K....

    Amazing 😍🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

  30. S.... ....

    Chills. Every time.

  31. F.... M....

    genius tactics sing about selling soul and satanism but in a friendly way so they still get the ads

  32. J.... M....

    i used to blast this shit all day in in highschool

  33. j.... k....

    brings me back

  34. H.... _....

    Inciden geldim ayik olun.
    cCc inci sözlük cCc

  35. R.... D....

    That outro puts most Doom Metal bands to shame!!

  36. M.... M....

    Never realised how amazing this song was until recently. I would dare say I think it's among one of their master pieces.

    M.... M....

    I am with you. This came out as the same time as Damnation and for whatever reason, at that time I was just into that sound, so kind of dismissed this album. Oddly, i have listened to every other album quite a bit and only recently gave Deliverance a chance. It's great and this is my favorite off of it.

  37. n.... ....

    Losing sheep, in too deep
    Fading fun, what have I done...

  38. d.... ....

    best opeth song

  39. J.... H....

    Sometimes it´s the most simple phrases you can relate to, words. "Fading sun, what have i done?" I have not been perfect in my youth and done some big messups. Suffered for years. And you can call that "A fair judgement" lol

  40. O.... �....

    4:51 porcupine tree hit hard

  41. J.... M....

    morbid floyd or pink angel ??

    J.... M....

    ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ ΜΠΛΟΥΤΗΣ Opeth

  42. M.... J....

    Opeth is so fucking good it makes me wanna cry

  43. g.... ....

    0:00 - 0:08 All is already said.

  44. s.... p....

    truely many Great!!!!

  45. A.... C....

    Man! That nasty riff starting at 8:07 just raised the hair on the back of my neck.

    A.... C....

    lmfao same
    it is sooooooooooooooooooooo nostalgic

  46. A.... R....

    Is it just more or does this sound rather Orchid-y?

  47. V.... ....

    How come I've never listened to this masterpiece before?

  48. T.... S....

    So isn't anyone going to say something about the part that comes after 4:21? Gives me the chills every time.

  49. Y.... ....

    That riff at 8:06 is so badass its unreal

  50. V.... 0....

    Brutal ending.

  51. D.... R....

    I love the Doom riffs in the final part!

    D.... R....

    Not doom at all.... Altho I do love how ridiculously over the top stupid most metal fans are... An unparalleled ability to attribute things they like to what they actually are not. Way to go

    D.... R....

    @Cale Toews It's slow and has sense of imminent downfall. That's what he means by doom riff. Why are you so annoyed by this anyway?

  52. a.... c....

    Losing sleep, in too deep
    Fading sun, what have I done
    Came so close to what I need most
    Nothing left here

    Cut the ties, uncovered disguise
    Left behind all intertwined
    Lost control, moved out of the role now
    Nothing's left here

    Leave it be
    It was meant for me
    Soul sacrifice
    Forgot the advice

    Lost track of time
    In a flurry of smoke
    Waiting anxiety
    For a fair judgement deserved

  53. �.... H....

    The ending of this song is so fucking heavy and melodic

  54. B.... M....

    One of my favourites... no doubt about it. And the end reminds me of God of Emptiness from Morbid Angel. And also to Where Dragons dwell from Gojira.

  55. D.... G....

    5.09 min The solo. Less is more. One of the best guitar solos ever!

  56. G.... B....

    10 Motherfuxxers will be fairly judged.

  57. M.... M....

    favorite opeth track ever, i could listen to the part 5:27 - 7:30 a billion times and it's still as good as the first time.

    M.... M....

    Mother Madness Ye man. One of their best for sure. probably my favorite.

    M.... M....

    Also easy to play on the guitar. Goosebumps whilst playing!! Every time again..!

    M.... M....

    absolutely.

  58. D.... G....

    Now I know why I love this album that much: it's because of these outro's....

  59. R.... C....

    Lindgren's solo! Soaring, majestic, immortal.

    R.... C....

    hahahahahah XD man you are funny

    R.... C....

    Ram Cobain a guitar crying

    R.... C....

    i think, but i might be wrong here, that Akerfeld once stated that Lindgren normally never played Solos.

    R.... C....

    Ram Cobain, perfect description mate - Lindgren adds a beautiful counterpoint to the urgency and immediacy of Akerfeldt's solo - lucid, wise, truly magisterial. God I miss Lindgren, Lopez and old opeth :(

  60. s.... ....

    really great solo!

  61. P.... ....

    metallica is waay better. Especially Lars Ulrich.

    P.... ....

    Are you all serious? Didn't see the joke in OP's comment?

    P.... ....

    looks like the joke was missed by a mile, hoorah for dumb people on the internet.

    P.... ....

    I'm die hard fan of Metallica but man , does this pissing on them-yes it does .

    P.... ....

    @James Watson please mr genius explain the joke, so dumb people can stop being dumb


    well since I think a genius wouldn't forget this part you must be one of the dumbs too :sadface:

    P.... ....

    @panic how can one explain the complex intricacies of this joke, let me put it in lamens terms


    ur dumb

  62. A.... T....

    7:17 wtf... amazing

  63. t.... ....

    5:45 might very well be the best guitar riff in the history of music... it was the singular reason I decided to pick up a guitar; there is just not another riff I'm aware of that capture such fury, elegance, and emotion... this is PERFECT

    t.... ....

    Opeth has a fuckton of great riffs, but i know what you mean. You might also enjoy the Song "Burden". And of course, the whole Blackwater Park is a gigantic Masterpiece.

    t.... ....

    visit any famous metal song with a solo and get the same comment, lol :D

    t.... ....

    Dude that's not even the best riff in this song...

    t.... ....

    lool dude such hype for that...


    check the song "deliverence" more towards the end, full of sick riffs.

    t.... ....

    Hi, that riff is great, but far from the best in Opeth´s catalogue.
    And if you want power riffs with all the meaning, please listen to Mastodon´s discography: The Czar, the last Baron, Seabeast, I am Ahab... just some proposals...

  64. J.... K....

    This song rapes my soul with beauty.

    J.... K....

    Wow! The day beauty has to rape, is the day it's no longer beautiful.

    J.... K....

    Can't rape the willing.

    J.... K....

    Can't rape the willing /\

    J.... K....

    That's the most emo thing I ever heard.

    J.... K....

    it aint rape if theyre both screaming.

    @homanahomana

    And this is coming from someone who not longer than two weeks ago used to think that Blackwater Park is boring and sleep-inducing. Now it's one of my top albums ever. Nobody can stay indifferent facing such superior music for long :)

  77. S.... ....

    @homanahomana

    Haha. Dude. I have started listening to Opeth just recently and I can already tell that the quality of their music is so superior, that getting back to my older bands after listening to Opeth is a comparable sensation to eating shit after having some 20-buck chocolate ice cream. That's just how good they are. You can't blame their fans for feeling superior, because the music plainly outclasses everything else in terms of quality (except bands like Edge of Sanity for example).

    S.... ....

    you have written my heart

    S.... ....

    That's exactly how I've been feeling about Tool these days

  78. H.... ....

    Anther tune to a magicl moment under the name of Opeth. Arc de Triunf April BCN 2007

  79. D.... R....

    OPETH!!!!!!!!

  80. C.... ....

    @homanahomana if you wanted to attack Opeth fans, why come to a place where you know your going to lose? We're not all narcissistic nobodies, your just generalizing. And by the way...

    "You can always tell there's a problem with a person by how defensive they get upon criticism or wayward opinions to the contrary of theirs."

    Congratulations on just defining yourself.

    Now fuck off out of here.

  81. p.... ....

    Wow, an opeth fan truly butthurt homanahomana xD.

  82. b.... ....

    @7153eric

    Yeah, but with every other Opeth song that's been played on the radio, they've cut the "moving" almost completely out of it. I love Opeth, but a four minute version of a nine minute song does nothing for me.

  83. t.... ....

    this is one of the best opeth songs.

  84. J.... T....

    I honestly love Opeth an incredible amount. Their music is just so beautiful, and I can't help but have feel great emotions everytime I listen to them.

  85. j.... v....

    WOW O_O

    haha I love opeth...

  86. I.... ....

    Ending heaviest shit ever? You got to listen to some doom! Or try My Dying Bride. Awesome song!

  87. n.... ....

    This is probably my favorite Opeth song. And likely my favorite song ever.

  88. m.... ....

    10:00 aaaaaaaaah.... tudu spalsh tu tududu splash

    LOVE IT

  89. J.... ....

    Mikael's voice is too computerized on this song imo

    J.... ....

    Maybe thats the way he wanted it

  90. s.... ....

    That riff is so epic. Its like an orgasm.

  91. R.... ....

    8:07

    Satan is going to pissed that Opeth stole his shit.

  92. A.... t....

    this song is so beautiful. even though dreary, it's got a certain uplifting quality... and the ending is the HEAVIEST SHIT EVER

  93. e.... s....

    you are right codeouch, i should not have said ever, i should have SCREAMED the best EVER!!!!!

  94. C.... ....

    @7153eric i wouldn't say ever...

  95. M.... G....

    the end is the most amazing part of the song...

  96. C.... S....

    the best band live as far as reproducing the sound of their cd's, they dont have the best stage show cause they cant really move around with this music, but when i saw them no one was really worried about moving around or moshing because they were all staring in amazement as what they were seeing, trust me they sound perfect live and he even had a cold and apologized to the crowd if they didnt sound good and like i said they were perfect

    C.... S....

    But Mikael does really funny and silly stage banter.

  97. N.... N....

    just awesome

  98. L.... ....

    @withoutmyjoy indeed they do.

  99. D.... ....

    I first heard these guys a few weeks ago. Now I can't stop listening to them.

    D.... ....

    I cant stop with years .\m/
