Wilson, duke of lizards, I beg it all trune for you

Talk my duke a mountain, helping friendly book
In as far as fiefdom, I think you bad crook
Wilson, king of prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, duke of lizards, I beg it all trune for you

That I did not know.
I don't know much about Mikael.

There are quite a number of proggy references in Opeth lyrics and titles. Not to mention the whole proggy style of the band's death metal comes from Mikael's prog interest.

I haven't listened to a lot of their music. Still trying to digest the whole death growling thing.
 
Well, if some random passerby saw Stevo on the street, they'd probably think he's a bit of a nerd. If they saw Mikael, they'd run away screaming.

Funny how the Opeth guys are actually some of the nicest, most accessible blokes in music.
 
I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice
The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice
While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice

Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask
I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask
None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in
I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin

He's fallen on the ice, it cracks
Will he plunge in and join me here?
He meets my eyes, to my surprise
He laughs in full light of my frown
My double wants to pull me down

Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone
The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own
I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul
He's leaning back, time to attack, it's me who's in control

And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time
He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine
Defeated now I sulk and squirm in mud with frozen mice
Waiting, calculating till next he ventures onto the ice.

Kapiti. I'll make it now. NO posting till this one's finished!
 
My sweet one, I'll call you my sweet one
You're my only true sweet one
With my all, I'll call you my sweet one
From far away, I'll say your name

Oh with you, I'd travel thick
And with you, I'd also travel thin
And all the spaces in between
I'd travel with you
You're my sweet one

But for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder
Herbivores ate well cause their food didn't never run

Oh, if you're ever unsatisfied with the way life's treating you
You know you can count on me to take good care of you
I love you honey oh yes I do you know that's true of course
and if your dog or cat ever dies, I'll buy you a ewe
 
I didn't know, I didn't know

Well I didn't like cheeseburger alleycats near me
A petrified fish disease, I wish somebody'd hear me
I didn't like maple dew, honey melon watercress
I didn't like fish shoes down by muddy watermelon
I didn't seem to miss you when you kiss'd my honey water
And even showed a picture, showed her down by honey's border
But who laid silver tooth and broke my sunny shoe shine
And all my plastic melodreams are waiting for their new shine

Pardon me, Doug (pardon me, Doug)
Is this a picture of Otis Redding?
Yes! Yes! Taken right before he died
Well you can give me his hide (well you can give me his hide)

(I didn't know)
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone

Well I woulda' liked to seen Bess Truman come see me
And hear all the revolutionaries come free me
'Cause if it all ends up running to sneeze me
I'll make it all here, black corners come seize me
And if you boom, back got troubles in your ear
And you can't seem to come back and make it all clear
When eye tails and toe nails and liquid all meet me
When mustard pies and carrot eyes and flounders come greet me

(I didn't know)
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know that I was that far gone
