beneath the mire

opeth in son albümü olan ghost reveries deki en ilginç şarkılarından birisidir.şöyleki;doğu ezgileriyle süslü bir klavye girizgahından sonra kol gibi brutallerin girdiği akabinde tool tarzı bir clean vokal ve üstüne blues ezgilerinin girdiği yazarken bile insanı yoran(!) bir parçadır.hadi sözlerini de yazayım:

Haunted nights for halcyon days
Can't sleep to the scraping of his voice
Nature's way struck grief in me
And I became a ghost in sickness

Willingly guided into heresy
Beneath the surface, stark emptiness
And you'd pity my conviction
Whereas I thought of myself as a leader

You'd cling to your pleasant hope
It is twisted fascination
While I'd ruin the obstacles into despair
And I'm praising death

Lot love of the heart
In a holocaust scene memory

Decrepit body wearing transparent skin
Inside, the smoke of failure

Decrepit body wearing transparent skin
In his shadow I'm choking
Yet flourishing

Your delusion made me stronger
Yet I'm draped in pale withering flesh
I sacrified more than I had
And left my woes beneath the mire
