LYRICS
Liquid is in your throat for hopeless delight
After all you fell in love with death
Life has aborted all you've had and all you became
The night is calling, you pray forth
A barren waste is your land
Crops, they were sown to die
This skin is a mirror
The eyes hover with ignorance
Hell throb from your lips
Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep
All years caring for a liar
The barren drift road is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a beautiful future
Changing and waiting
And seeking the truth of it all
Fleeting in sorrow, pushing your spirit away
Seeking the weakness of dislike
Whispered from the heart to be
We're all in the mourning to despair
Felling the [Incomprehensible]
Cries out, "The restless will also die"
Resurrection covered with death
Drawing the life under one
A fact tied to the earth
The soul's a victim, a follower
Oh, mother
[Incomprehensible]
For us to see
The blink of an eye
And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son
And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son
Over warrior's token
Mis-spoken lives on
The language unimportant
So fair and so just
All the land is taken
There's more going on in a single Opeth song than most bands manage to create in their entire careers. They blow me away.
In this case Opeth is talented. Just because you have a lot going on doesn’t mean ur good
@@Celestial_Being666100% Opeth just know how to do it they're exceptional songwriters
And opeth is very much both
The hair of jesus, the voice of an angel and a growl of a devil
Damn it's jam packed
It took me so long to get this
This made me legitimately lol. You're not wrong.
It's beautiful is what it is...
Genius phrase
I'll give you you're 666th like lol
0:42 "JUST GIVE ME SOME BEER !"
loooool :D
JUST GIVE ME SOME BEER UGH!
Same
I can't unhear this. It's been years and I had to go looking for this comment again.
Still... The more I hear this the more I want to hear this.
Probably one of their weirder songs, one of the best on the album.
weird doesn't mean bad, this is song is just perfect...
Definitely in my top 5 songs by Opeth.
The best of the album imo
5:50 This is the weirdest disco I ever been to
I mean...not complaining tho
lol this is good and not weird, have u guys listen to mr bungle? this is more weirdo lol
That's disco? Was thinking that was a form of jazz the entire time lol
@@Slaughtercvlt They have Abba in their blood
@@Slaughtercvlt is jazz
Psychedelic death metal.
More likely alternative :P
Jezus II more like prog :P
More like Alternative prog post thrash electronicore xD
777Dubliner Opeth
Nu-metal
The end of this song is extremely creepy to me. When I was a child, I was often sick and would have fever hallucinations, and this is exactly what they sounded like: eerie, nondescript background music; random, non-intelligible voices whispering; and sinister laughter. Hope I never have to hear those sounds again - except for in Opeth songs, of course ;)
Brutal AF
+thehonorablereese Dude, I can totally relate to that. I always thought the end of this song sounds like fever hallucinations
+thehonorablereese Sounds like having a fever at a funeral.
+thehonorablereese Same here, I deal the same situation with the end of "Year Zero" - Ghost B.C.
fuck yeah! Swedish people are just so fucking metal! \m/
5:47 【ｂ ｏ ｓ ｓ ｔ ｉ ｍ ｅ】
7:19 Axe, that snare has feelings too!
The song that got me into the death-metal side of Opeth. Such a great tune.
100% agreed.
Yvan Vale9 lol me too in high school tho ima metalhead god now
What a great fucking album.
sean m da best
Indeed, the atmosphere is incomparable
1:16 is probably the most underrated riff in Opeth's catalogue. One of my personal favourites.
+ArranTank Fucking agree, this riff is unbelievably good.
pretty weak riff in my opinión , i prefere Demilich for riffs of that nature
07:23 best key change!
Sick riff is sick
Shit man. The more I listen to it, the more you're right. Sickly stuff.
Spotify Wrapped tells me this is my most listened to song of the year. Deserved
Wow. Just wow. I'm new to Opeth and I started off with sorceress and I though "huh these guys don't sound extremely metal but I love this anyway" but now I'm digging into the older stuff and holy shit this song is just amazing
you HAVE to listen to blackwater park
right now
austin prince Wait until you hear The Night and the Silent Water, Black Rose Immortal, Demon of the Fall and Moonlapse Vertigo. Their early material is fucking golden.
Lexington Deville84 I have listened to demon of the fall and its one of my favorite songs ever.
Welcome to the family brutha!
same
I'm pretty sure the switch at around 7:20 signals the destruction of the earth and I'm loving every second of it.
the blast beats with the cleans!! the haunting humming at the start! the false end halfway through the song! the woodwinds and organ!! the guitar solos! the bass being distinct and awesome! this song is fantastic in its strangeness, what a composition!
Im McLoving it! I'm gay and fat... shitty world bvt this makes me feel ok
Composition is exactly what it is....200 years from now Opeth will be Mozart
I like how he does clean vocals over the blast beats
1:00 All Jews Can Afford A Lighter (All those years caring for a liar.)
i have to live with that too :c
Alright boys , this is officially going into the lyrics now lol
I both hate and love you for this
Opeth are hands down the most brilliant band of all time
Facts
actually the second one after Dream Theater
@@arashtaheri9172I would agree but I hate their vocal style. I would even say Rush is #1 but I cant stand their vocal style either
@@arashtaheri9172 dt are good but i prefer Opeth personally
@@arashtaheri9172 ahead of Rush ? doubtful.
Probably the most hectic and frenetic song Mikael ever wrote for Opeth, imo.
This is an unbelievable tune. The notes, crazy OPETH time signatures, chord progressions, and those melodies.....wtf.
I think this album and Reveries are a time separated double album....brilliance.
That guitar and bass groove @5:45 is th sickest thing I've ever heard.
I remember hearing that for the first time high af and basically having my brains melted. Long long ago now.
It's crazy how hype that got me when I first heard this song. I was like, okay yeah this is Opeth, uh huh. And then this shit came out
There is not much guitar there,mate
I love how we go, blast beats with pretty singing to straight up death metal, back to pretty singing, back to death metal, to solo, to strange wind instrument break, back to blasts with singing, back to death metal, back to singing, back to death metal, to blackened death jazz, to pretty prog solo, to contemporary, to jazz fusion, to blues, to a punk jazz break, to prog metal, to progressive death metal, to organ.
0:49 love that riff it's so chilling and energetic; and that transition at 1:45
Nothing on Earth could have prepared me for the funk switch-up at 5:42. I visibly grimaced at work.
hahaahah bro same
why u grimaced
@@ghplayer1992 What, you've never heard/seen something so nasty that you just had to make a face?
@@CesarGonzalez-bw2hz hahhaahahha yeah didi many times hahahaah
@@CesarGonzalez-bw2hz no but thats not nasty its perfect why u choose word nasty
The liquid is in your throat
For hopeless delight
After all you fell in love with death,
Life has aborted.
All you've had and all you became,
The night is calling, you pray forth.
The barren waste is your land
Your crops, they were sown to die
The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Sucked in and safe in a world of sleep
All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away
Sick of the weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior
And cries out
For the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you'd never come back for us to see the beckoning end
And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
And the love from a father was used by a father's son
Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking
Duuuuuuuude shit gets soooo real at 5:43
remiinds me of a 2d game i used to play when i was young, can't remember the name though
I think of Zelda: Majora's Mask when you defend the cows from aliens on the ranch.
Ratchet and Clank
i'm addicted to that part
Yes, I hear a lot of Ratchet and Clank.
5:43 love this part
Looking back on it, it was definitely an underrated album.
Completely underrated. It's one the best albums ever written and an incredible sendoff for their guttural style.
I absolutely love this song. I think Opeth are probably the only band around that can pull off blast beats with clean vocals, and still sound awesome :p
Soilwork also does it in "Let this River Flow" :) Blast bleats with clean vocals is one of my favorite things for a metal band to do!
Soilwork biatch
George Abel definitely not lol
Guessing you've never heard native construct then...
how come no one has mentioned the gods themselves, Ne Obliviscaris ??
Yes, Mikeal Akerfeldt IS a bona fide musical genius. Anyone refuting this notion just ain't listenin' properly, period.
Man you are absolution 10000% percet right.. i take alot of inspiration from Mikael when i write
Damn facking right my friend. I'm one of those die-hard jazz w*nkers, and I still benevolently kneel before the profound musical genius that is Mr. Akerfeldt.
You know what's sad he has to dumb down his music for us. :( I wonder what it would really be. The only reason why I say that is because of what he said about his most recent works. "I know what the fans want" that's great and all but what do you want Micheal
I refute your point on the basis that his name is Mikael Akerfeldt, ampersand.
It took me a couple of years to get into their music when I was younger. I'm glad I did. This is not the easiest kind of music to "get" by any meter. AAL, Snarky Puppy and many other "proge" are much easier to start with than this.
This is one of the best songs ever written...
This album gets so much better with age...Mikael truly is a musician ahead of his time.
How could Mikael alternate from clean to gutural so fast? The guy is obviously a genious and a privilegiate singer;)
the power of production
He switch voice instantly, watch him live, he's amazing
@@facuwind4758 No, just awesome technique
@@facuwind4758 The power of being able to spend days recording vocals
As much as I love Mikael, when you know what you're doing it isn't that hard
this is by far one of my favourite opeth compositions :)
Also one of my top-5
The best part is between 0:00 and 8:50
What's wrong with 8:51?
@@Haxprocess thats when it ends we want it to never end
Like all Opeth songs of this album? 🥵
Possibly my favorite one on Watershed! Haunting...
*THIS,* This is what musical genius sounds like
Listening to this just solidifies in my mind how I feel about their newer albums. This song for me was when they nailed the right balance of Prog/Metal. I had such hope for them but nothing after this was as spectacular.
Making progressive death metal is way easier in terms of "this has never been done before". I'd say Opeth pioneered the sound, whereas in prog rock is way easier to sound like other bands. I love Opeth's new records, specially Sorceress, but I agree that it will take them some time to trascend their musical influences and make a truly unique album.
opeth back when it sounded like opeth
I personally like to think that Opeth basically reaches their limit to create more sounds like this, so they decide to go softer instead of go harder or weirder
Wait. This is an Opeth account and the lyrics are incomprehensible!? What?? XD
They probably just copied it from somewhere else. Listen to the acapella version of this song, you'll notice a lot of mistakes in the lyrics. E.g. it should be "Eyes hollow with ignorance", not "hover".
the world is a beautiful place :)
Cezayir61 it can be said that way....
Lyrics: [incomprehensible]
Me: wym incomprehensible, you guys wrote them
Lol I never saw that.
This song hits me with nostalgia every time I hear it. One of the first metal songs I've ever heard and is one of the band that really got me into metal. Gotta love Opeth for that!
Opeth guitar solos put 99% of metal guitarists to shame.
Just saying.
syn is pretty good ...
Opeth music puts most metal musicians to shame
Even Lindrgen's solos are above average because they are fucking Opeth solos!!!
@@bassemkarame2510 that's overstatement
Chuck Schuldiner, just saying. (I'm a huge Opeth fan though)
Axe's kit sounds immaculate on this album
No one is talking about this transition 0:50 it's my fav thing in this song
First time listening to Opeth, his voice is beautiful 😀 No, this whole song is BEAUTIFUL!
I didn't realize the inspiration for Heritage was already in Watershed until I listen to this song. Absolute madness.
Just realized that this is in fact my favorite Opeth song (for the next few days/years lol)
This song will always stay dear to my heart
3.38 has been killing me ( a 68 year old cannonball talks ), and Grimsoul yes, this solo gives that nostalgic air, it even sends tears in these old eyes ... hugs to all, and to posters : Corinians and Myosotis ...
A 8.51" masterpiece.
This song is the definition of insanity. I absolutely love it!
Gotta love how the lyrics in the description says [incomprehensible] twice
Hard to believe this is almost ten years old. I remember going to pick it up at a place called CD Warehouse and listening to it non stop for weeks.
2:42 "Wrestlers will also die" :(
Cannot unhear this
NOOOO! THE ROCK!
someone should make a complete transcript of misheard lyrics already
I like how parts of the lyrics in the description say ✨Incomprehensible✨
while reading the lyrics "feeling the [incomprehensible]" ahah this is why I love metal
This album ages so incredibly well. Over the years I never liked this song, now I suddenly enjoy it more and more. I mean 3:02 ... wow! Watershed was one of the best albums I ever bought! Even the casing and booklet were amazing!!!
this song is all over the place and i love it
Finally 1 million views for this masterpiece!
Best Opeth album
5:48 to 6:22
Could easily be a BGM in a classic NES Megaman/Batman game.
Or an One Piece AMV Mr. Rorona
More like a Mario
No one has made music as OPETH, I’m an old metal head and I never heard musicians like opeth
2020.... I look back on this album now and it amazes me how much more detailed, deeply intricate and dynamic it is compared to their newer material... Not to say that Watershed wasnt a controversial album either. I remember people disliking the direction that Opeth were going and not liking them _'going soft'_ so the feel of this album was more kind of a hybrid balance of death metal and the softer side of Opeth but at the time this album came out, The band themselves were starting to change and evolve while the death/black metal side of them seeming more like unwanted baggage they didnt want to drag around anymore.
I definitely miss this side of opeth where the song writing was very very deep and everything was written out like an orchestral arrangement where there was a part to play for every instrument involved.
An album that i did enjoy when it came out. But very underrated when looking back.
You just described new Opeth in second paragraph. It’s not that easy to find a song as complex as Moon Above, Sun Below or Strange Brew in older Opeth’s stuff. Pre-Watershed albums aren’t deeper and better than post-Watershed albums, it’s just different music, yet it’s still Opeth, unique and recognisable.
One of my favorites by them
Favourite Opeth song!
This song is just phenomenal from start to finish. What a band. I like their new stuff too 🤷. Don't care. Many I've seen complain bc of no growling & such....but his voice is too damn good to not like. He can do whatever he wants
Well Said!
Agreed all of their music is gold. People need to learn to chill out and enjoy.
Love the wicked ending at 8:00 reminds me of the Death Eaters at Malfoy Manor
Totes!!
Best Tow Parts
6:24 And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son
7:24 Over warrior's token

So fair and so just
Simply beautiful masterpiece, so delicate yet smoothness runs along my tongue. Amazing.
The Unknown One I love the way you said that.
That's probably something else running along your tongue. Get it checked.
This is one of my favourite Songs ever.
Great work!
OMG I LOVE THIS SONNNGGGG 😍
Listening to this again, this piece is just genius! Love it and was lucky enough to see it live in Nov 2019. Miss live music soo much during covid.
0:25 "Opeth's Delight!"
i thought i was the only one who heard that!!
5:47 xD so good.
i am highly convinced now thats vikings grunted instead of having a normal voice
7:24 BRUTAL ,those drums man o_O
I would listen to this song on CD again indeed
@ 7:25 makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
mac the drummer It's just so metal.
02:40 the way he says "die" gives me chill
This blew my mind, i loved this song
driving around steel port Nd Fucking shit up
nothing too criminal though right??? just knocking off mailboxes and shit??? maybe tippin' a cow or two??
+Ray Wright. steelport is a fictonal city in saints row 3
sorry man I thought you meant North Dakota...lol
Lol
FUCK Yeah!
Unpopular opinion, but this is the best Opeth album. Im in love with every song since it came out
The moshpit for this song when i saw them live in 2008 started as two pits going in opposite directions and merged into one giant one that took up the entire venue which was not a small venue btw. Only better pit was cannibal corpse at mayhem fest which turned into an actual dust tornado
Opeth is underrated
Death metal version of Pink Floyd's song sheep. Love it!!! 🔥
Nice!🎶🔥🎶
this masterpiece is five songs in one
That's many an Opeth song...
Opeth: the unfuckable-with. Always excellent, never a bad album.
6:21 gold
my all-time favorite one!
It's hard to believe this masterpiece with it's incredible complexity have been done live!
この曲好き
Oh my god this is amazing
1:43 to 2:45
"You are stuck in a route of confusion

This album is Opething so hard.
A masterpiece
What a beautiful clip
I like the drums
Axe is a monster on this song, and those guitar melodies are so sweet and heavy!
Ok, last one.
"Overheard us talking

The language unimportant, so clear and so true.
Overheard us talking."
Long live Opeth. Everyone listening to the new TOOL album thinks theres no greater band in the world.. which is sad because tool takes no risks n doesnt tour while Opeth literally put their lives and souls into their respective instruments.
Kevin Walsh Tool sucks. Always been.
Tool was. Opeth forever will be.
both great bands, although both new tool and opeth is boring.
@@stevenmackintosh8160 New Opeth is a blast compared to the latest Tool album.
