The Leper Affinity lyrics

Artist  : Opeth 
Song : The Leper Affinity
 
We entered Winter once again 
Naked, freezing from my breath 
‘Neath the lid, all limbs tucked away 
This coffin is your abode from now and onwards 
 
Your body is mine to avail 
Such a tragic sight you are 
Slave under my creed 
Spurring me with those tears 
 
I am beyond death 
Midst a dreaming affinity 
Saving strength now, faint whispers 
Come erotic communion in its splendour 
 
Fever mirrored ghosts 
Night-time consolation, cross the line 
Draw murder into art 
Sleep inside through days 
 
Solo: Åkerfeldt 
 
In the wake of this relief 
Shivering, longing for more 
Insanity at its peak 
Love me to my death 
 
Lost are the days of Spring 
You sighed and let me in 
 
Keep the beast inside 
Shackled within my hide 
Screaming out too late 
Losing to my hate 
 
Grew together with your skin 
And paced the trails of sin 
 
Solo: Lindgren 
 
Your gaze, covered with virgin snow 
Rigid features…. 
It’s the shallow deeds who’s to blame 
Deafening shrieks pierced the night 
 
A step from oblivion 
Moving into the dim lights 
Hiding within a reverie 
It was worth it for the wait alone
