    3:25 to 5:20 is my favourite Opeth moment in all their discography. They sure have many genius, emotional and technical parts, but this one always gets to me. With the concept of the album in mind, it inspires entering the depth of individual darkness, merging with fear, deep regret.. The point of no return.

    i feel like this song is the culmination of Opeth's 'Steven Wilson' era, i.e. the styles on Damnation and Deliverance. the heaviness and the soft parts are in full effect and not a second is wasted. every other moment i find myself in awe at what one group of guys playing music can achieve. one of their most perfect songs for me

      Ghost Reveries means a lot for me tho, and i find it to be Opeth's masterpiece. But i don't think we should actually compare Opeth eras because in a way, all the albuns are above average.

      Sorry, i have a real hard time distinguishing one of Opeth's very best song's from another, cuz they are ALL 11+ on a scale of 1-10
      Every song on every album has such incredible musical depth and style.There are not alot of bands that you can play 2 different songs from & not know it's the same band.Such is the diversity of Opeth, from the heaviest darkest metal with cookie monster vocals to soft jazz, & then classical piano concerto & then blues, & acoustic guitar with soaring harmonies, all in the same song!

    hear the baying of the hounds
    In the distance, I hear them devouring
    Pest ridden jackals of the earth
    Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests
    In wait and constant protectors
    Calling you to sit by his side
    Your self loathing image in his flesh
    A revelation upon which you linger
    His words are flies
    Swarming towards the true insects
    Feasting on buried dreams
    And spreading decay upon your skin
    His eyes spew forth a darkness
    That cut through and paralyze
    Casts light upon your secrets
    Forced to confront your enemies
    His mouth is a vortex
    Sucking you into it's pandemonium
    Fools you with a helping hand of ashes
    Reached out in false dismay
    His body is a country
    The cities lay dead and beyond despair
    Friends turned enemies unable to come clean
    In a rising fog of reeking death
    Everything you believed is a lie
    Everyone you loved is a death burden
    So you take comfort in him
    And you are receptive to stark wishes
    No longer struggling to declare your stand
    You would inflict no harm to others
    They are unaware of you
    And in a loop of futile events
    You are everything, they are nothing
    Drown in the deep mire
    With past desires
    Beneath the mire
    Drown desire now with you
    Lined up verses on dead skin
    "The tainted lips of the stranger
    Resting upon hers"
    And I embrace bereavement
    Everything beloved is shattered anyway
    I would devote myself to anyone
    I would accept any flaws
    I am too weak to resist
    Tension vibrating with horror
    Finding the outcast in my eyes
    Pushing nerves on a puppet
    Endless poison in my veins
    Clean intent now tainted with death
    And so, cold touch now inhumane
    Every waking hour
    Awaiting a reverie to unfold
    And now they are calling me
    Louder by the minute
    The baying of the hounds
    Calling me back to my home

    Heard this live once, long ago. I just happened to stand near one of those huge bass speakers. Then that first chord opened, and I swear, I literally soared slightly above the ground for a long moment of pure bliss. The loud bass made the ground impossible to feel beneath my feet.
