The Drapery Falls Lyrics - Lamentations: Live At Shepherd's Bush Empire 2003 - Opeth

Please remedy my confusion 

And thrust me back to the day 

The silence of your seclusion 

Brings night into all you say 

Pull me down again 

And guide me into pain 

I'm counting nocturnal hours 

Drowned visions in haunted sleep 

Faint flickering of your powers 

Leaks out to show what you keep 

Pull me down again 

And guide me into 

There is failure inside 

This test I can't persist 

Kept back by the enigma 

No criterias demanded here 

Deadly patterns made my wreath 

Prosperous in your ways 

Pale ghost in the corner 

Pouring a caress on your shoulder 

Puzzled by shrewd innocence 

Runs a thick tide beneath 

Ushered into inner graves 

Nails bleeding from the struggle 

It is the end for the weak at heart 

Always the same 

A lullaby for the ones who've lost all 

Reeling inside 

My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects 

Stare of primal regrets 

You turn your back and you walk away 

Never again 

Spiraling to the ground below 

Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away 

Waking up to your sound again 

And lapse into the ways of misery
