Opeth - Death Whispered A Lullaby Lyrics






Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind

Sleep my child

Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands

Sleep my child

Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all

Sleep my child

Opeth Death Whispered A Lullaby Comments
  1. C.... ....

    Some of my favorite lyrics ever.

  2. J.... ....

    Damnation was like a soundtrack to a phase in my life. Helped me cope with it beyond measure.

  3. D.... K....

    😘😘😘 Opeth 🤘🏼

  4. g.... m....

    Ooohh poop and smile

  5. H.... C....

    I love this jam. It's the first Opeth song I learned to play and sing. Tricky at first but rewarding.

  6. T.... D....

    Best song on Damnation.

  7. D.... S....

    Dark and calm. It does not put you up or down, it helps to relax. Great album.

  8. A.... B....

    Into the dark, there are eyelids closing, burried alive, in the shifting sands

  9. D.... L....

    Holy wow bro, new neighbor repellent.

  10. E.... I....

    I just read that bs they dished out at the YMCA. ✌ ❤ Hypocrisy sux. My son is 30. Drummer. Big fan of your music. I've had many a time listening to your great music through him. PM me?

  11. R.... G....

    I want this played at my wake & hope to die .

  12. E.... I....

    One of my son's favorite Bands. I like them too.

    E.... I....

    Your son has great taste in music!

  13. O.... ....

    If it werent for Mike Become The Knight i wouldnt be here... Opeth is one of a kind, and its almost like every song has its own story. I love when i can picture the story in my head, its makes the song seem even darker as in lryc/song wise! Opeth rules!!

  14. L.... S....

    Without a trace brought me here and I'm thankful

  15. o.... ....

    Where did I put this fucking cd?!

  16. l.... ....

    when i was 11 i made an amv out of my fursona and one i made for mikael akerfeldt who i called mikael the kitty and set it to this song and when i tried to upload it to youtube it was blocked because copyright and i lost my mind because i spent like all weekend on it

  17. J.... T....

    Masterpiece

  18. T.... ....

    0:52 Classic Opeth style with the riff that stops a bit on the tritone

    T.... ....

    It's one of those things that make Opeth sound so... Opethy

  19. R.... 6....

    This band is beyond incredible!!!!

  20. S.... S....

    My fave Opeth album!

  21. A.... S....

    Their best songwriting approach is this album

  22. W.... H....

    Out on the road there are fireflies circling
    Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
    Over the hill there are men returning
    Trying to find some peace of mind
    Sleep my child
    Under the fog there are shadows moving
    Don't be afraid, hold my hand
    Into the dark, there are eyelids closing
    Buried alive in the shifting sands
    Sleep my child
    Speak to me now and the world will crumble
    Open a door and the moon will fall
    All of your life, all your memories
    Go to your dreams, forget it all
    Sleep my child

    W.... H....

    Your lucky there not fruit flys.

    W.... H....

    I imagine a kid walking with the grim reaper :I

  23. K.... B....

    I love Opeth.

  24. Z.... M....

    Futile EP brought me here... gotta try out some more Opeth now, this is just brilliant.

    Z.... M....

    This is their most different album, so maybe you won't like the other albums

    Z.... M....

    Iván Salvatore their newer albums are kinda like this though

    Z.... M....

    @Seth true. If you like this, listen to anything from their Heritage album from 2012 and on

    Z.... M....

    @Seth They're very different in my opinion.

  25. N.... W....

    Season 1 Episode 22: The Fisher King: Part 1 of Criminal Minds brought me here !!! Also I love this song !!!

    N.... W....

    It brought me to this song, too. Not this particular upload, though, but still. I love it.

    N.... W....

    What? I’ve binged all of that show! I can’t remember THIS!

    N.... W....

    I've always enjoyed both opeth and criminal minds, although criminal minds is not what brought me here.

    N.... W....

    I knew I recognized his voice! Watching this episode right now. 🙌🏻

    N.... W....

    Sameeee

  26. o.... ....

    Anyone happen to know whether Mikael, peter, or steven performed that haunting, chill-inducing solo at the end??? Always wondered, but I no longer have a physical copy to refer to the credits with. :(

    o.... ....

    Pretty sure it was peter, with a mix of Stevens studio magic haha, they had a clip of Peter playing it in the studio documentary.

  27. T.... ....

    It’s sad that this song has been out for on year and only 4 comments this song is amazing

    T.... ....

    song's like...over a decade old, maybe two by now...ton of other videos of it

    T.... ....

    Ya this song changed my life. 4 comments, kind of refreshing.

  28. L.... A....

    My favorite band ever... 💓

  29. M.... T....

    Love this album... It's dark, but it's actually helped me deal with one of the saddest chapters in my life. Love Opeth. Thanks for the upload.

    M.... T....

    Michael Thornton hell yeah brother!

    M.... T....

    Same here. Not even a fan of this kind of music particularly, but this song helps.

    M.... T....

    Amen to that, brother.

    M.... T....

    Sometimes you need sad music to help you feel an emotion honestly and let it go.
