i wrote this a little while ago - its one of those songs that shouldnt be taken literally...
im tired so i cant be fucked putting more than one song here right now - i will later.

[In a cracked whisper she said:
"we are hurting and for now and forever we'll be crying"
i could not raise my eyes to hers
so also in a cracked whisper I relpied:
"though we hurt and though we cry
we'll be one in shadow"

and there we lay in each others embrace
my fingers traced her angelic face
and then we stood by the waters edge and leapt into coldness
no breath
just her remaining warmth
ill never let her go

the silence then fell drudgingly about our bodies
our hands found eachother and closed tightly
and in a last effort to remain together
i held her to my chest
and we faded away...]

feel free to insult - this one was more of a poem but when i can be assed i will post my other songs.

Why is the title of this thread Black Rose Immortal?

i called it 'black rose immortal' because its my favourite Opeth song - thats all.

Love the lyrics.
