Opeth - Sorceress Lyrics






I am a sinner and I worship evil
Blood is thinner but you will never know
Can you confess that you thrive in chaos?
You're a sorceress and your eye is on the lost

But you're dying
It's in your eyes

You're a charlatan
You get everything you wish
You're a harlot
Carry poison in your kiss

Beg forgiveness
With a dagger in your hand
Sow your death seed
And reap the dying lands

But you're crying
It's only vice

Empty vessel
Drained of hope
And none the lesser at the end of
A rope
Have you ever hated like I?
Know I still awaited the absence of lies

Watch your eager tongue
Attack me from behind

Riddle whispers
Bleak futile control
Like a twin sister
Adapting to a role

You're a murderer
Bloodlust increase
You're a harvester
Come close to spread disease

And you're hiding
I hear you cry

Opeth Sorceress Comments
  1. H.... I....

    I have found you for so many years! I was about to kill myself this music I listened to them at the time of my high school spent years I thought I lost them!

  2. S.... ....

    this song is freaking hilarious. the intro especially. i know it's supposed to be taken seriously and I feel a little bad but heck, i've rarely heard anything funnier

  3. J.... A....

    Wonderful voice!

  4. I.... B....

    Nice, but I prefere King Crimson.

  5. S.... R....

    I see reference to growl vocals. Not a fan of that vocal style, so not sure how much I'd like Opeth overall but this song is solid.

  6. R.... T....

    I'm here because of Filthy Frank

  7. s.... ....

    Lost In Vegas brought me here...I would call this Alice in Opeth.

  8. M.... ....

    Yo I heard this for the first time and loved it. Opeth is good no matter what

  9. j.... L....

    this music is garbage

  10. T.... N....

    Wow man, this intro seems like it's made with stylophones, amazing.

  11. U.... M....

    Why does this fit The Witcher so well?

  12. d.... D....

    When Tool, Electric Wizard and Soundgarden become one band

  13. J.... G....

    So gosh darn catchy

  14. G.... ....

    "Lost in Vegas" brought me here, prepping to listen/review RUSH
    Slamm'in, but I could do w/o the 1st minute, though.
    Sue me.

    G.... ....

    Same here. Those guys are entertaining.

  15. t.... ....

    I'M A SINNER

  16. K.... O....

    I am indifferent to this

  17. N.... -....

    Obra prima, totalmente... 🤘🙌

  18. B.... M....

    time to get funky

  19. D.... M....

    F'n awesome.

  20. S.... D....

    I did not expect this at all...…….but I like it.

  21. S.... B....

    Great show at the Tivoli last night. I'm still buzzing. I hope someone managed to steal that hat.

  22. a.... ....

    Dat phat DROP A tuning! fucking makes you quake

  23. p.... ....

    The prevalent symbolism here is a peacock, which is male, but the lyrics refer to a female? Interesting.

  24. A.... P....

    A dark masterpiece. Incredible

  25. C.... B....

    I seen you in Albuquerque on the street downtown across from LINDY'S at a green light and couldn't stop.... I 💀 and could only wave from my car inside the windowwww. Oooo. So sad I missed the show

  26. J.... J....

    That snare sound is so exquisite. I'm addicted to it.

  27. S.... M....

    The sorta shit you just leave on repeat

  28. R.... ....

    Love the Riff 🤤

  29. W.... ....

    This song in the words of Mikael Akerfeldt is a classic if i do say so myself

  30. K.... ....

    This song is something else when you listen to it live in a small-ish venue with a full light show.
    Best way to describe it is that you "feel" the lyrics while that damn peacock's watching over you from above. @_@

  31. a.... a....

    I wish this song skipped the first minute

  32. f.... m....

    The intro has been keeping me from listening this song for long time

  33. S.... ....

    Great song

  34. T.... W....

    Mastodon 2.0

  35. i.... ....

    Such a shame that a once amazing death metal band has started making 8-bit sounding music.

  36. A.... S....

    best drums i heard in a while. fuck modern audio engineering and djent

  37. M.... ....

    That intro makes me orgasm.

  38. H.... R....

    When it gets heavy. It literally sounds like something Zakk Wylde would have written. Oddly enough, Mikael in the raspy parts he sounds like Zakk.

  39. A.... B....

    story of my life

  40. �.... �....

    !!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!

  41. k.... .....

    ....nasze drogi się rozejdą.... pamiętaj.....kochałam Cię najmocniej......Dla Ciebie.....Kochanie......P.E.....

  42. J.... ....

    man being the drummer on this song sounds fun as fuck

  43. S.... E....

    It's doesn’t sound like before, but even more magical.

  44. J.... P....

    Only post Watershed Opeth record I've listened to is ICV (very solid stuff). Probably gonna give Sorceress a spin next, since the title track slaps so hard. Amazing combination of riffs and oh man, those vocals. Very Soundgarden/Alice in Chains.

  45. H.... H....

    Fucking Amazing ..... I love it..

  46. S.... M....

    Dominated lyrics dominated music...

  47. �.... ....

    このなんとも言えない不気味な感じが狂おしいほど好き

  48. k.... .....

    Love!!!!

  49. j.... g....

    PEDAZO DE BANDA LOCO .... DESDE LA PATAGONIA CHILE

  50. a.... a....

    I adore the sound of this one.

  51. A.... B....

    Opeth members all have a very enlightening musical connection.
    Calm. Open mindedness.
    True Artists and it shows throughout the Whole Opeth as a collective

  52. P.... W....

    Amazing!

  53. z.... ....

    I only came here because I had heard that this band is somewhat similar to Tool, but more in a progressive manner. This band is terrible and thank goodness they’re nothing like Tool. This music sucks big time.....thoughtless lyrics and without anything considered to be musically talented

    z.... ....

    lmao maybe this doesnt fit to your liking. Try their older albums

    z.... ....

    Have a listen to their other albums. They’re all different unlike tool’s which although I like em sound the same.

    z.... ....

    Tool is overrated. If you don't like the song keep your thoughts for your fucking self. Just shows how entitled Tool fans think they are. I get it that the older Opeth fans hate New Opeth but if they would just get off of their high horse than they would realize that there is actual good in New Opeth.

  54. s.... ....

    This song reminds me a lot of King Crimson

  55. G.... M....

    I am a sinner and I worship evil
    Blood is thinner but you will never know
    Can you confess that you thrive in chaos?
    You're a sorceress and your eye is on the lost

    But you're dying
    It's in your eyes

    You're a charlatan
    You get everything you wish
    You're a harlot
    Carry poison in your kiss

    Beg forgiveness
    With a dagger in your hand
    Sow your death seed
    And reap the dying lands

    But you're crying
    It's only vice
    Empty vessel
    Drained of hope
    And none the lesser at the end of
    A rope
    Have you ever hated like I?
    Know I still awaited the absence of lies

    Watch your eager tongue
    Attack me from behind

    Riddle whispers
    Bleak futile control
    Like a twin sister
    Adapting to a role

    You're a murderer
    Bloodlust increase
    You're a harvester
    Come close to spread disease

    And you're hiding
    I hear you cry

  56. R.... K....

    Is that a Hammond?

  57. A.... M....

    That chorus is exactly why Dorian is my favorite mode.

  58. I.... C....

    Coooool

  59. H.... D....

    nada que ver con my arms your hearse ni orchid

  60. H.... D....

    apestan!!!!

  61. B.... P....

    Great musos

  62. B.... P....

    Truly brilliant awesome

  63. K.... M....

    There's some Life of Agony in there.

    K.... M....

    I think it’s summat to do with the pain of his Mrs leaving him. The song that is. Akerfelt that is. Got the t shirt and to me it’s the poor soul of a man devoured by his estranged wife/girlfriend. BUT WHAT GREAT SONGS COME FROM PAIN.

  64. F.... D....

    JUG JUG JUG JUG JUGGA JUG JUG JUGGA JUG JAAA JAAA!!!!!!!! The jug is awesome!

  65. S.... N....

    when the guitars said

    “dun dun dun dun chig chug chug chug chug chug dun dun dun dun dun dun DUNN”

    I felt that 😔

    S.... N....

    i laugh, fuck you

    S.... N....

    @Föller Fuckenstein I fuck... laugh you!!! :P

    S.... N....

    Damn straight. This is gold

    S.... N....

    @Toastymarket what the happe is fuckning?

    S.... N....

    Don't listen to him bro dw bro it was funny bro :(

  66. D.... B....

    The last 1:30 minutes are the best imo, never heard a sound like this in my life.

  67. C.... L....

    This album's mix sounds like ass, plain and simple.

  68. n.... y....

    the live version is great

  69. B.... G....

    Seen these guys at download 19, didn't think too much of their set except for this riff. It's fucken gnarly

  70. T.... ....

  71. p.... ....

    Came here from voice type suggestions

  72. m.... ....

    THIS is opeth? just came from Still Life to this...what a let down..

  73. D.... ....

    They started the show with this song 2 days ago in Sibiu.My balls still hurts...

    D.... ....

    I was there it was demonic :) 50 times better than on studio version

  74. S.... 2....

    i kinda wish they would have more songs like this in that album.

  75. S.... D....

    Never listened to any other opeth song before and I've heard their older stuff is different, as well, no hate to ghost, but this is what they should sound like to be considered metal. Ghost surely kind of go for a Doom metal feel with some of their stuff but a lot more of it is truly not "metal"

  76. C.... K....

    I know I'm sounding like an old dude here, but when I hear songs with guttural vocals I find myself thinking "love the tune just don't understand what the f*** you're saying". This song reminds me of some early 70s Proto Progressive music with balls, especially the intro

  77. S.... f....

    A, A, D, G, B, E
    That's the tuning

  78. S.... 2....

    this is a opeth song that works very well without growls.

  79. f.... z....

    Let's take a moment and appreciate the music video , , the women holding the old man .... the peacock... the moon .... it's magical!

  80. C.... F....

    Is Michael talking about his ex

  81. m.... p....

    Does the intro remind anyone else of hellsing's (an anime) openning or is it just me ?

    If you want to check it out : https://youtu.be/rBPegoYoD9Q

  82. G.... L....

    3:00 for those who don't know, this is the so called "Mysterious Peacock", a Brazilian type which is famous for exposing charlatan journalists and politicians by hacking them and showing off their true evil faces. It's a symbol for us all.

  84. J.... A....

    J.... A....

  86. R.... ....

    Awesome artwork in the video. Cool song too

  88. B.... B....

    Ehh pretty boring. For my first time listening to opeth. I don't see why Soo many people are obsessed with this band.... Maybe I listened to the wrong song idk.

    B.... B....

    Listen to stuff from blackwater park and ghost reveries

  89. M.... ....

    This > old opeth vocals

  90. T.... *....

    Madness Reigns...............

  91. C.... ....

    The studio version is good, but the live version is just out of this world !

  92. A.... ....

    so glad I waited out the first minute of this song

  93. H.... B....

    Really reminds me of alice in chains

  94. D.... M....

    Opeth is so underrated, only 4.7 mil. views?!
