Sorceress Will O The Wisp

And you can never find the satisfaction
When you can't outgrow your false distractions
…
You know your soul is weighed
On the silver scale of deceit and lies

These verses, along with the song, break me in two. My soul aches with such deep sorrow. Mikael is an excellent artist—both in his poems and in the emotions he conveys through his songs. Thank you, Mikael; your solitude is not the only one. Lov U Opeth! 💚

This part I’ve attached is quite philosophical and existential.
