Coil - Opeth + LYRICS

There's something about Opeth's progressive death metal that I like.  A lot.  I've got Watershed on my laptop; a more recent release by the Swedish quintet, and it's a fairly decent album.  You've got the growling numbers, the subdued tracks, and just about everything in between.  The song that grew on me the most was "Coil," with guest vocals by the lovely Nathalie Lorichs.  There are no death growls, just the acoustic guitar and a male-female duet of the sorts that's strangely haunting.  The lyrics (included below) are just as chilling and deliciously melancholy.  "Coil" is for more of a base than the death metalheads.  I personally think it's one of their more accessible tracks, though there's nothing wrong with that.  All the more for you to enjoy.

She told me, why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how

I've always stayed
Always waiting for nothing

When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
When I get out of here

When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by

And I can see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes, I can see you
Running through the fields of sorrow

When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
When you get out of here

When you leave me behind
You'll find that those years passed us by

And I can see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes, I can see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
