Opeth "Chrysalis" lyrics

Chrysalis

And on the furthest day when you lay downDiscard your disarray and your rusted crownAnd face the wretched image of you and INo trust in what you say, you are a dead poison seedStronger when you are away, you have nothing that I needThe rhyme has settled in the ghost of a sighNothing now remains, now you will leave me be

Sunrise into the moonlightA broken body lies in waitYour prize won you the stark nightAnd you made peace with your fateBlind eyes sensitive only to white lightReacting just a bit too late

Preying on insecurity, a design of your schemesA true believer of purity must tend to what it meansOr allow its gospel to turn into a lieYou forsake everything you feel in favor of despairImmune and blind to everything that is real in your secret lairAnd cast away the captive heart that was thine

And you will go and leave me be

Winter in your soul, building a wastelandAnd you tread a thin ice 'neath your feetSneering, and everyone you would shunCollecting flowers to your wreathLifeline, a river cuts deep in your cold handIt is changing when you try to breathe

Leave it all behind you, there is comfort in giving upA seed in a barren soil might curl up into a coilFlourish into something newGive back what you thought was "you"And give way to all that is new

Leave it all behind you...
