Opeth - Ghost Of Perdition Lyrics
Ghost of Mother
Lingering death
Ghost on Mother's bed
Black strands on the pillow
Contour of her health
Ghost of perdition
Stuck in her chest
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Called inside the fog
Pouring venom brew deceiving
Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
"You have to live before you die young"
Holding her down
Channeling darkness
Hemlock for the Gods
Fading resistance
Draining the weakness
Penetrating inner light
Road into the dark unaware
Winding ever higher
Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed her by
Dedicated hunter
Waits to pull us under
Rose up to it's call
In his arms she'd fall
Mother light received
And a faithful servant's free
In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give
Ghost of perdition
A saint's premonition's unclear
Keeper of holy hordes
Keeper of holy whores
To see a beloved son
In despair of what's to come
If one cut the source of the flow
And everything would change
Would conviction fall
In the shadow of the righteous
The phantasm of your mind
Might be calling you to go
Defying the forgotten morals
Where the victim is the prey

Opeth Ghost Of Perdition Comments
Opeth, Porcupine Tree, and Riverside in my opinion are the three artists who best define the modern era of progressive rock/metal.
Favorite Opeth Album
That intro punched me in the face
I would buy a working gramaphone to listen to this album.
I have visited you thank you for your Dedication You shall be rewarded utterly ..
Tool and opeth are probably the greatest bands
Cory in the Haunted House
2020 first
Clicked on this video yet again to listen to that section from 6:26 - 6:57. I'll sleep well tonight.
It's like a whole album compressed down into one song, good shit!
This is how aggression and happiness look like in the song. Opeth trully root of the Metal
Masterpiece.
0:06 "ghost of mother manipulates dick"
This makes me feel like I'm between hell and heaven
It took me 4 years to understand how damn overrated the outro is
Gentelmen's death metal
Sounds cool boys
9:00 - 9:07 CRAZIEST 7 SECOND SECTION EVER MADE
You're magic.....❤️🌹💯🤗🤗💥You help me live better with your blissful beats and you scream when I can't but the chant sets me free
100% my favorite song of theirs
I've never been a fan of death metal, but this made me cry
This isn’t death metal, it’s prog.
@Anselmo Solis jr its prog death metal
2:50 seems like heaven *_*
What a fucking masterpiece,everything about this song is just great.Ghost of Perdition once a week keeps you away from depression forever.
ghost of... perdit
Saints Row 2 anyone? Good Times
The transition to acoustic is not smooth at all.... It sounds like it was tailor made to be experimental rather than a song..... So it is a lovely experiment, but not a song....
Best transition to me is on take the time by dream theater... Always will be I feel....
1 of a kind band right here. many changes in line up but same bad ass sound
Uhm okay I was kind of expecting a soft intro slowly building up to the opening song of the album, but nope. Straight to work, those growls needed to be released immediately! Had me do a little scare jump in the room. 😁❤
Havent heard much of them although ive seen their name in my suggested so i thought I'd give it a try
hi guys i'm new to Opeth. Which album would you recommend me for start ?
Blackwater park
Damnation
I tried listening to black water park first and didn’t like. Then I listened to Ghost reveries and haven’t stop listening to them since. Highly recommend starting with ghost reveries.
Oh hell nah this that demonic shit I’m out
Opeth's golden period.
I sense dream theater with heaviness
1:12 this is the best part!
2:45 wait no that is the best part!
4:23 No THIS is the greatest part, surely!
5:55 I stand corrected.
7:37 holy crap! this is incredible!
9:29 Ok, that's just unfair to the rest of the song.
Muy buenos , viva el rock en todas sus facetas
I still think this is one of the most well-composed songs ever recorded.
But the voice change... I thinks that impossible
Adoro essa canção
Opeth trabalhão incrível
Best song in Saints Row 2
Masterpiece
I've listened to thousands of metal albums in my life, and this is the #1 for me.
my favorite part 6:56 to 8:18
A lovell man? Igor mann? Victor mann?
THIS, precisely, as I keep incessantly precisely. STOP MAKING COMPLETELY LOGICAL STATEMENTS
Now who said _that_?
hears this
see this is someone who does sort of half care about her victimisations
but as i said, tyhis guy does _contribute_ other things for what he misses
needs moar guitar busywork
I like how thos huu doesnt try to overthink things. It likes that it does
QUE MADRES ESO ESTO

Eh, they're okay.🤣
Every time i listen to this i discover a new orgasmic section
To all the 435 people who disliked, "You'll come back here later in life and realize how stupid you were before. Ofcourse, only if you stop listening to that beiber, selena gomez crap right now"
Best intro to an Opeth song.
5:55 Mike's voice is hott
I'm seeing them live in my town Pune, India after 3 months from today!!
And I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna break down in between 2:50-4:00
❤️
Hey I'm thinking of coming from bombay to see them too!! Do you know when they're playing? Are they playing on 29th or the 1st?
Hey Dinag, even I'm coming from Bombay ( i do job here) but sadly they haven't annouced the day wise schedule yet, so we will have to wait 😅😄
@Mihir Jog 1 day to go ... I would have never thought that I would be able to watch both Steven Wilson (in 2016) and Opeth (now) in Pune.
Amazing instrument progression but the vocals suck, i'd rather have all growling voice instead of that whiny voice
They should've ended the track around the 5 min marge imo.
Simply put, this album is a masterpiece.
Who's still listening to this in 3020?
The song is good. But this growling demonic voice shit is just stupid. Kills an otherwise good song.
What an absolute monster of a track. I could listen to this forever. Quite easily Opeth's most complete song, and certainly the best from their death metal days, imho.
One cute light novel just now linked to this song while there is no next chapter. Many were traumatized.
Ghost of mother
Fingering dad
Sherane lmfao
what album is it from?
Ghost reveries
Bear san Has a weird mix of taste
Favourite metal album ever.
1:11 Tool inspiration?! The Grudge vibes;)
10 minute song, not a single second where i wasnt emotionally feeling it. WHY SO UNDERRATED OPETH
To this day, since I was a freshman in college (about 10 years) ago, this is still my favorite song of all time!
Ares a un puntúame as ar uterus
my morning alarm
I will really miss the sounds of OPETH and tool when they stop
after this album nothing fine not yat 50%
I'm here after hearing "Heart in Hand" just to remind me how fucking GODLY Opeth was :(
0:07 Toast from, Mother..!!!
Every time I listen to Opeth, I become disgusted
....with myself for not listening to more of their music
1:02 SEMUUUUUUUUUN
This sounds like a mix of diabolical and cellar darling. Definitely reccomend those two bands.
One of the heaviest most intense tracks I've ever heard. I don't care what other band or song you mentioned this is at the top of the list
U legit don’t know how to feel after listening to this its like dark but peaceful
Me encanta
Opeth have produced some truly incredible stuff over the years but, for me, nothing has ever topped this song. This is the pinnacle of their musical achievements. The first time I played this album, I couldn't actually go beyond this track for about two days, I was so blown away by it. Just beautifully, intricately woven pieces of soft and brutal sections, so expertly arranged. An extraordinary piece of work.
7:00-7:42 is just amazing
