WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Opeth - Benighted Tabs | Ver. 3
______________
/ Opeth / I think benighted means being mentally enclosed by something.
/ Benighted / This song is about someone who suffers from a loss and is
/ Still Life / benighted by it, and about this person, who reached out for her.
/_____________/ Unfortunately (my opinion) this person offers her to fall into
a deeper mental slumber, into this night - sorta satanic, eh?...

" Come into this night
Here we'll be gone
So far away
From our weak and crumbling lives
Come into this night
When days are done
Lost and astray
In what's vanished from your eyes "

" Come into this night
Your plight alone
Carry your weight
You are flawed as all of us
Come into this night
Your only home
It's never too late
To repent, suffer the loss "

" Come into this night
When you're able
To undo your deeds
And atone with your lonely soul
Once you're into this night
All minds are stable
Forget all your needs
Lose the grip of all control "
