Opeth - Face In The Snow Lyrics






No more wishes for the past,
No lingering of sages and seers.
Desperations and fevers last,
The undertows are stronger here.

And here I lie, another morning arrives,
Too far away from coming home.

I see a face in the snow.
Inside my head a voice calls for me.
I see your face in the snow
And outside the sun's too far away to feel.

And here I lie, another morning arrives,
Too far away from coming home.

And here I lie, another morning arrives,
Too far away from coming home.

And could we live within the wake of aging lies
When we're too far away?

  4. T.... B....

    What is this song exactly about?

  5. b.... �....

  6. 9.... P....

    Mikael you and your band are truly one gifted artists ❤️

  7. C.... E....

    amazing soft masterpiece ,seesncial to hear in a a cold cold winter!Akerfeldt rules

  8. H.... Z....

    Too far away ..

  9. J.... H....

    Ohh wooow! I have beeing listening to King Crimson, Camel, Pink Floyd, Riverside, Vivaldi, Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, ELP, Gentle Giant, Caravan, Leprous, Tool, Björk, Osamu Kitajima, Sai Yoshiko Philip Catherine, Jan Akkkerman, Focus, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Adrian Belew, The Doors, Dire Straits, Walter Von Vogelweide etc. for a while and still I jaw dropped! Such pure emotion and implementation of classical composition in modern standard that the band Opeth puts out - good thing I discovered them too -.

    J.... H....

    I like how you put Vivaldi casually among all other prog and rock bands haha genius :D

  10. F.... R....

    I can't really understand why this has to be a bonus track, this is the best song in the album!

  11. T.... T....

    Ohhh, this song is Opeth's Soldier of Fortune....

  12. N.... ....

    And here I thought you'd never catch me saying an Opeth song is too short - God. Damn. Beautiful.

  13. J.... A....

    Why does the chorus sound so familiar?

    J.... A....

    There are songs out there similar to this. It sounds like some King Crimson song too.

  14. g.... ....

    Åkerfeldt is love, Åkerfeldt is life.

  15. P.... D....

    And you always come back to Opeth...

  16. D.... ....

    this is like a Damnation song

  17. A.... S....

    Aburridoooooooo 🖓

  18. C.... D....

    Guys remember that sometimes Wich song it's or not a bonus track dependends more in the label than in the band.

  19. O.... D....

    Yine buralardayım

  20. M.... O....

    1:42 maybe I'm wrong but I see REM's Murmur in the pic

  21. F.... ....

    It's almost 50 degrees (celsius) outside, and it's been like that for a whole week. I miss winter.

  22. s.... ....

    so this is the first i've heard of this....and i love heritage. wow

  23. T.... M....

    IMO, one of the best Opeth songs of all time..

  24. f.... ....

    Wtf how have I not heard this???

  25. N.... S....

    Wow! This is beautiful!

  26. R.... A....

    Opeth is pure emotion

  27. �.... �....

    No comment ,
    Have no words for that,
    Sometimes you need stop talking . _

  28. A.... N....

    Opeth is my favorite band of all time.  They are one of the most versatile bands in existence.  Michael's voice is amazing.

  29. M.... ....

    Can anyone introduce familiar style songs?

    M.... ....

    Google translate or what?

    M.... ....

    Try out Opeth's album called 'Damnation'. Or some mellow Opeth songs like Burden, Faith In Others, Benighted, Hours Of Wealth, Elysian Woes, Isolation Years, ...

  30. f.... ....

    I feel no shame in saying that the opening minute of this song brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, Opeth.

  31. c.... a....

    no es lo mismo de antes :/

  32. B.... ....

    What record is this from

    B.... ....

    It is a bonus track on Heritage limited edition

  33. B.... L....

    Man I love this Intro Opeth not justs does Prog Rock and Death Metal their music goes Beyond the basic mold of bands

  34. Q.... Q....

    Is this a cover song, or a original deleted song from Heritage?

    Q.... Q....

    Quib Quach It was a bonus track

  35. K.... E....

    Dangereus

    K.... E....

    K. Emre Aşkın dangerous***

  36. o.... b....

    opeth is my favorit band , there music is so deep feeling .

  37. T.... M....

    I love this song. It's one of my all-time favourites. Such simplistic beauty!!!

  38. M.... S....

    So beautiful...

  39. S.... ....

    Oh no, you passed out in a pile of blow.

  40. P.... E....

    So much better than all the tuneless shit on the radio, and it didn't even make the album!
    Nice video by the way.

  41. C.... L....

    This song is too short :((((

  42. S.... A....

    favourate masterpiece of a band

  43. T.... a....

    So I've come up with this alternate tracklist for Heritage:

    1. Heritage
    2. The Devil's Orchard
    3. Häxprocess
    4. I Feel the Dark
    5. The Lines in My Hand
    6. Slither
    7. Nepenthe
    8. Famine
    9. Pyre
    10. Folklore
    11. Marrow of the Earth
    12. Face in the Snow

    Improved flow (in my opinion) and inclusion of the two bonus tracks. I think Pyre fits in really nicely, as for Face in the Snow it just wouldn't fit anywhere else. Think of it as the melancholic encore.

  44. M.... B....

    puts me into the darkest corner of my mind...

  45. M.... T....

    Hits me right in the feel .. *Crying

    M.... T....

    wallahi btbaki 3njad !

  46. k.... ....

    hora sad u_u

  47. B.... o....

    is thare another version video with good quality 1080mini ?

  48. x.... d....

    KAΛΑ ΚΡΑΣΑ.......! [ΑΛΛΙΩΣ..ΓΑΜΑΤΑ]...!

  49. B.... H....

    what is this where can i buy/download this?

  50. w.... ....

    Easily the best song on Heritage

    w.... ....

    @InfinityPotato That's a profanity against the best album

    w.... ....

    @Seabra Alves nope

    w.... ....

    Why does everybody in this comment thread have such radical opinions about songs on heritage?

    w.... ....

    Pyre is competitive either

    w.... ....

    @InfinityPotato Try haxprocess

  51. R.... R....

    5 people were holding their phones upside down

    R.... R....

    Ryan Rood Someone did it again

  52. g.... ....

    PERFECT video for this incredible song which I - somehow - only discovered now! I wish someone would make an entire movie that evokes this particular feeling which I can only describe as "Opeth", that I could watch and dream away with over and over again...

  53. M.... H....

    Great song and a great video to reflect this. Excellent!!

  54. D.... S....

    Just beautiful. Wow

  55. a.... ....

    man this song is so beautiful. I love the way axe and mendez sit in that pocket when they come into the tune, it doesnt take away from the beauty of the beginning, only enhances it.

  56. T.... L....

    That intro.. <3 <3

  57. V.... ....

    Anyone know what this song is about? Definitely very sad

    V.... ....

    i see it as depression

    V.... ....

    home i see it as a metaphor

  58. J.... I....

    I have no words for this. Mikael is one of the most talented human beings to ever exist.

    J.... I....

    yeah exactly !!

    J.... I....

    Josue Ignacio así es ajaja

    J.... I....

    Pure Genius!

    J.... I....

    He gets all credit for the whole opeth sound. Dont forget rest of the guys.

    J.... I....

    no he isn't

  59. S.... ....

    Oh lawd, you passed out in a pile of blow!

  60. s.... a....

    sublime. Just beautiful.

  61. B.... F....

    damnation was better but this was a good album

  62. P.... N....

    How this song didn't make it onto Heritage is beyond me! It's better than every song on the standard album

    P.... N....

    it sounds more like the melancholy theme that was present in watershed

    P.... N....

    it doesn't go with heritage.. it isn't as proggy

    P.... N....

    Reminds me of Damnation v2

  63. M.... V....

    great track

  64. P.... L....

    Minuto 2:21 The best !!! :)

  65. P.... L....

    Hermoso .

  66. D.... F....

    Amo esta cancion.....brotan las emociones cada vez que la escucho! <3

  67. A.... L....

    Swedish winter hell yeah :D

  68. r.... ....

    This has become one of my very favorite Opeth songs. The way it makes me feel is indescribable. Also, I like the visual images in this video. Did you film this yourself, Ni Dono? If so, may I ask why kind of camera you're using?

  69. B.... ....

    Best Opeth video....

  70. J.... ....

    No more wishes for the past,
    No lingering of sages and seers.
    Desperations and fevers last,
    The undertows are stronger here.

    And here I lie, another morning arrives,
    Too far away from coming home.

    I see a face in the snow.
    Inside my head a voice calls for me.
    I see your face in the snow
    And outside the sun's too far away to feel.

    And here I lie, another morning arrives,
    Too far away from coming home.

    And here I lie, another morning arrives,
    Too far away from coming home.

    And could we live within the wake of aging lies
    When we're too far away?

    J.... ....

    Thank you. You are my president!

    J.... ....

    life exactly

    J.... ....

    thanks man - enjoyed singing along to this banger

  71. N.... D....

    hey guys thanks for the love and support of Opeth! as well as a thank you for anyone who enjoys the video i put together. this song moves me to the most tender place in my heart..

    N.... D....

    Ni Dono Where did you get this video? Its more than perfection

    N.... D....

    addidas_85. clips from youtube compiled. I knew what I wanted so I searched it and then put all the clips in a video editor and touched it up. It was especially nice hearing this song a million times. I felt so tender making this.

    N.... D....

    Low light on a dark night.

    N.... D....

    tender lil bitch

    N.... D....

    Alfy Rocks like a rotisserie chicken.

  72. C.... E....

    so beautful sound and video clip!

  73. J.... M....

    Never in my life would I have thought that a track from Heritage would become my current favorite by Opeth. This is a most amazingly beautiful track coupled with the most perfect video background. This song actually brings me to light tears and I am not a man prone to crying. I think the melancholy somber scenery from the video helped with that. But without Mikael's angelic vocals none of this would be possible.

    J.... M....

    I know what you mean actually. I remember being pretty underwhelmed by Heritage when it first came out. In hindsight though it's grown into one of my favourite albums by them. The only track I tend to skip over is Slither but that's just because I think it kind jars with the overall vibe of the album.

  74. N.... T....

    Am glad this band exists and I know it

  75. P.... ....

    This song is far from long enough, I would've taken 4 times that... Let's listen to it 4 times instead hehehehehe

  76. P.... C....

    How Michael can transform his emotions of longing, pain, joy and sorrow to such beautiful music is beyond me. But he truly has a gift and I'm glad he wants to and is able to share it with us.

    P.... C....

    Well, well! Nice to see you here, my friend!

    P.... C....

    Wouldnt call it a gift, this dudes worked his ass off

    P.... C....

    Austin Pugh But what you call “working” is just what he does. He writes music compulsively. He doesn’t practice. In his own words, he’s simply talented. The work part for him is the touring

    P.... C....

    2012Numo joy must be sensed in order for sadness to be worse cause of contrast

    P.... C....

    "Sorrow"

  77. B.... N....

    Wonderful song that makes my eyes wet....

    B.... N....

    Should have been on the track list for Heritage, not a bonus track. This song is amazing.

    Beautiful song, beautiful video.
