Opeth - Svekets Prins Lyrics






"Vid ett årsskifte så upplever många en känsla av vemod vid tanke på det som aldrig mer återkommer. För andra är det ett ögonblick av förväntan inför möjligheten att erövra det nya. Andra åter känner oro inför en förändring som innebär ovisshet och kanske försämring. Alla dessa stämningar är var för sig förklarliga. Någon sa här om dagen att vi lever i det stora uppbrottets tid..."

Svekets prins går ned på knä
Letar djupt i en portmonnä
Vid hans sida, en orörd kropp
Spänd inför sitt bröllop
Hon är ung
Alltför ung

Alltför ung

Vem kan styra ett liv i dignitet?
Kärt besvär, en tydlig hemlighet
Oh, nej nej nej nej nej
En falsk tanke
Din trygghet sätts på spel
Själens pris, en åtrådd ägodel
Oh, nej nej nej nej nej

Man gratulerar en välkommen affär
Det fanns ett syfte med ditt liv
Insinuerar att om livet är dig kärt
(Då) är din underkastelse ett bra motiv

Väntar in natten
Öppnar din dörr
Och kommer in

Opeth Svekets Prins Comments
  1. K.... M....

    Opeth is an awesome band, but I'm sorry...this is whack. I'm going to check out the rest of the album, but I hope they are not anything like this.

  2. K.... S....

    all the work is beautifull. Congratulations!!!

  3. N.... ....

    seeing them live soon.

  4. E.... S....

    I loved and learned opeth as a metal band and I miss some good and unique prog metal what provided Opeth in past. It was really masterpiece, dark and poetic and powerful. What they do now, it’s also beautiful and I appreciate it, but as a metalhead I’m disappointed, I expected some metal and not what they do now😑

  5. M.... H....

    Beyond incredible. Hard to place in words. Multiple viewings are needed.

  6. M.... 4....

    wow thse guys are just getting better,

  7. J.... B....

    Opeth is my Life 🇫🇷🇸🇪

  8. M.... S....

    I can notice some Emperor' influence. Love it

  9. a.... ....

    Saw them live few days ago, life is set

  10. K.... S....

    this is easily the best song on the new album

  11. F.... S....

    That intro sounds similar to Cry of Achilles by Alterbridge

  12. R.... a....

    Beautiful 🖤

  13. N.... C....

    After seeing them live in Leeds, especially after this song, I was amazed and astonished of how they manage to be so emotional but brutal even not growling, or using standard aggressive clichés. They're awesome above every measure.

  14. B.... K....

    Cannot wait for live performance.
    Must be awkward when Mikael asks audience to sing along.

  15. D.... ....

    In Cauda Venenum is better than Fear Inoculum. Significantly better.

  16. C.... G....

    To be honest , it's not bad but they never got that beloved feeling back on their songs , average singing , good riffs but not compared to any of the ones on their best albums , what a shame...

  17. m.... w....

    tres tres bon tout ca merci !

  18. N.... S....

    Been a fan since BWP & I will say that this is probably the best opera album since Watershed. Obviously old school Opeth is still supreme, but they're a progressive-metal band: change is inevitable. But this album is truly special. Although being American, I prefer the English version.

  19. r.... r....

    so you all at the concert in Melbourne at the Palai theatre. going to be EPIC!!

  20. �.... ....

    I only like the soft parts of Opeth songs. Am I a ainner?

  21. K.... T....

    The grows are back 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥






    This is a lie i wish i could believe.






    Ok this song wasn't bad though

  22. L.... I....

    The Pink Floyd of metal?

  23. F.... P....

    Zzz..Zzz...=opeth

  24. k.... W....

    Hey mikael. Just watched your interview on the Nuclear Blast Records channel and it's inspiring. I've always had the thought that you play what YOU enjoy rather than what people want to hear, and that interview confirmed it. I love the screams and growls as much as anyone but what I love more is your progression as a band. Your new album is simply inspired. I'm just going through it now to pick out the bass lines but man, the more I listen, the better it gets. I'm no real musician but I love the jazz form that you guys bring to this genre of music. Keep doing what you feel like doing and people will love it. No trend here. Love it!

  25. V.... ....

    So it's like dream theater

  26. A.... A....

    The voice in swedish in the beginning, where is it from? Sounds like Bengt Ekerot to me. Does anyone know? Thanks.

    A.... A....

    Its a speech by Olaf Palme, the former Swedish primeministre , that was assassinated

    A.... A....

    @Luc Borgonjon thanks for the info!!

  27. W.... ....

    FYI, the Swedish version is still part of the English album playlist

  28. P.... S....

    Judging by the singer's pitch, they take really cold baths up North.

  29. B.... N....

    Wrong on so many levels. Fear of Russians, denying even tourism for other pale white christian Europeans, relying on Arabs and blacks to uphold Swedish society... and you created hell. Asian queens for black society, with some bands dwelling on old fame. They don't even like it there, but it's free money and lots to rape and steal.
    In flames made much better album, even music-wise this one may be better if you are on your private beach in Maldives.
    Just retire or make a real meaningful and/or metal album, not one with "ooh-ooh"s and population of other continents in it, with unicorn stereotyping.
    Music-wise - album is a top one, conceptually it's garbage.

    B.... N....

    @Painkiller 93 Well, I wouldn't care if you scrub out the "christian" in " pale white christian Europeans". However, due to that religion, more calculating Europeans at the time used to plunder and ransack both middle easterners and Europeans that were deep into paganism at that time.


    TRUE Europeans that fought for centuries against Ottoman invasions, dis-helped by Catholics, handle false immigrants successfully and still have lively pagan customs, embedded deeply in tradition and in national holidays. Now how true of an European pagan you are with all of politically correct EU citizen attitude towards moslem Asian, African, and nameless middle easterners in your neighborhood?

  30. D.... G....

    I like the song and the art work of Costantiniuo but I don't wanna see girls suffering in any video. Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

  31. D.... T....

    https://youtu.be/qLSh0E0Rikc
    Opeth and Soen ???

  32. E.... B....

    Esta canción me suena al "Blackwater park" 😳

  33. Y.... M....

    THanks. the earth is flat <3

  34. N.... N....

    The 3:36 moment was cool, but after this music must be heavier. It must break the trans and keep going. It softness ruined the song for me.

  35. D.... B....

    Me: Mum can we have 0:08
    Mum: No we have 0:08 at home
    0:08 at home : 5:04

  36. V.... A....

    I ❤ this song!.

  37. J.... J....

    If I put together Opeth, Tool, Faith no more, SOAD, Mastodon, Jethro Tull Marillion and Primus i get this in my Head. https://youtu.be/zjIToIIVSug

  40. G.... D....

    Voivod Iconspiracy

  41. S.... S....

    Hi, Mikael.
    Please send me the album "Morningrise".
    Apparently you don't need him anymore.

  42. M.... 4....

    Sorry I just don't get it. I don't find this interesting at all.

  43. m.... ....

    Another absolute masterpiece, can Mikael ever go wrong?!?

  44. K.... W....

    This song is my bridge to the pale communion *masterpiece*

  45. K.... W....

    Swedish version ♥

  46. A.... O....

    Has nothing to do with Opeth in the early days...is it good is it bad ???

  47. s.... ....

    Opeth somehow pulls off sounding evil and angelic simultaneously.

  48. T.... X....

    Amazing new song by Opeth and a masterpiece album!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥

  49. e.... ....

    I wanna take a moment to acknowledge how BEAUTIFUL sounding is the Swedish language. This is Ingmar Bergman level metal.

  50. N.... ....

    opeth, just cut it. Sorceress and In Cauda Venenum are lame.

  51. F.... D....

    One of the best tracks i have heared the last years...

  52. M.... H....

    THIS BAND IS FUCKING AWESEOME !!! By the way, does anyone know with which software you can creae such videos,visuals? Would really help me.

  53. O.... S....

    Wait, was the video actually made by the same artist that made a clip for Cellar Darling - Insomnia?

  54. H.... M....

    Masterpiece

  55. A.... R....

    This a masterpiece, it make me cry

  56. H.... ....

    3:02 That voice, that fucking beautiful voice.

  57. E.... 4....

    RIP OPETH

  58. N.... ....

    one of my favorite songs <3

  59. s.... b....

    More glorified king crimson riffs. Great...

  60. 0.... ....

    What a snorefest. Now it's getting to the point where all their recent shit sounds the same.

  61. U.... C....

    I guess the Opeth of old is truly dead and gone. But this makes for a nice middle ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGAT2XS4tdI&t=545s

  62. M.... V....

    Uppspelningshastighet 1.25

  63. A.... B....

    soooo meaningful

  64. s.... ....

    Pink floyd is basically no more 😞. Not many of them left now.

    Long live Opeth , Tool , Dream Theater and Soen

  65. P.... B....

    How many of you all are buying the new album?

    P.... B....

    Vinyl box #1 is en route with FedEx. Arriving monday

  66. G.... ....

    Watch "GoZa the fire in your eyes" on YouTube
    https://youtu.be/xzDMCs6cf9M

  67. X.... ....

    Is John Petrucci playing?

  68. P.... ....

    Costin Chiorineau same visual artist for Soen Lotus video. Good work!

  69. T.... H....

    I actually like the way the Swedish version sounds better and I don't understand the lyrics at all lol just sounds cool

  70. L.... F....

    Man I miss the old Opeth... I know skill is involved but this is NOT as good.

  71. S.... H....

    Is it weird that I don't like old Death Metal Opeth, but I DO like new Prog Rock Opeth?

    S.... H....

    No not weird but you're really missing out on a lot of Opeth's best work

  72. S.... H....

    I love the bass tone. It sounds really vintage. Nothing like what you hear nowadays.

  73. O.... ....

    I feel like Mikael's growls would actually go with this current style very well on the more "heavy" parts.

    That said, this new album is shaping up to be fantastic.

  74. d.... ....

    And where the fukk has growl gone? Mikael's growl has/had been the spark that made me a fan of Opeth and fired up my perspective towards Progressive Death Metal. Today, when I hear "Progressive Death Metal", my first thought is "Opeth". So where's my beloved Mikael's growl? Delicate singing and powerful growl- that's Opeth I love.

    d.... ....

    It has been 11 years since the last album with growls, you might wanna look elsewhere for that type of vocals. Opeth inspired many bands, you can search for them if you like. Why do people like you come out of the wood to complain everytime a new Opeth album is released ? Mikael has been pretty clear about the direction of the new records yet you act like it's a surprise that there are no growls. I love the old albums too, but if you don't like the «new direction», you can go back and listen to them now. Complaining won't make Mike growl again you know ?

  75. W.... ....

    First listen and this is beyond amazing. Music and visuals. Have experienced Opeth albums since Ghost Reveries after release (as my music listening has taken other directions) but now I'm really hyped for September 27th!

  76. S.... i....

    since damnation........I was waiting for something great from this band........and I listen to this now........pure magic Opeth is back

  77. N.... V....

    They are awful now

  78. M.... G....

    Such amazing melodies

  79. D.... ....

    5:04 it's a start mikael keep this up

  80. I.... K....

    I`m hearing Uriah heep and Queen (the Innuendo album)

  81. n.... n....

    'so Ghost is popular? we can do that too'

  82. M.... ....

    Sveskens pris.

  83. N.... F....

    The art and animation in this video reminds me a lot of the witch sequences from the anime Madoka Magica, especially the the curtains at the beginning.

  84. P.... L....

    I really appreciate their decision to put out the whole album also in their native language. Sounds so much authentic to me.

  85. K.... K....

    IS ANYONE ELSE GOING TO TRY TO LISTEN TO BOTH VERSIONS AT THE SAME TIME 🤔

  86. R.... A....

    The shortest 6 min song

  87. J.... F....

    The Bass real shines through here and I love it. Basssss!

  88. A.... P....

    New Tool, Opeth, Mgla and Alcest....what a wonderful time to live life 😁😇

    A.... P....

    Don't forget "worthless abominations destroyed" from mayhem's upcoming album "daemonos"

  89. E.... G....

    The only thing that sucks is having to learn Swedish in order to sing along!

  90. M.... K....

    Heritage meh.
    Pale Communion not bad.
    Sorceress double meh.
    This song + Heart in Hand - holy shit yes, take all my money

    M.... K....

    "Mate Kiddleton" - Love it! 😅

  91. S.... H....

    soen_lotus, and this track have simular music video !
    same artist made this video?

    S.... H....

    Yes. Madder Mortem and Borknagar also have a single with a video by the same artist. He must be making good money right now.

  92. R.... C....

    ftyu6i67

  93. L.... ....

    I'm getting some serious An Endless Sporadic vibes from the video.

  94. D.... F....

    This sounds more promising than the last few in that it isn't a kind of modern take on 70's psychedelic prog-rock...It's more intense, dramatic and the tonewheel organ combined with the higher gain guitar riffage balances a lot better and overall has a more demented streak, The good type of demented that is of course. I am looking forward to this one.
    I'm not expecting Morningrise redux, My Arms Your Hearse redux, Still Life redux, Blackwater Park redux, Deliverance redux, Damnation redux (or Deliverance/Damnation as it was meant to be) and Ghost Reveries redux - That run is unbeatable and each record stands as good as when they were fresh, That sort of magic can not be repeated. Also, I do get the departure from the guttural death metal vocals after a killer run on vocal duties for Bloodbath...But the odd beast mode from Mikael wouldn't be at all unwelcome still

  95. K.... ....

    On 3:09 - 3:26 It's the best part of this song. Cue Wiberg's Harmony.

    K.... ....

    Wiberg hasn't been in Opeth for about 8 years.

  96. P.... R....

    genre...
    yes

  97. n.... g....

    I'm hppy, that's it guys, Tool releases new album, Opeth releases new album... this year is ending really fine.

  98. M.... \....

    Still absorbing the new TOOL album and eagerly awaiting this Opeth release!! This is a great year for us metal heads!! Thank the Gods

  99. M.... .....

    This is the best beat I ever heard and waiting for official release on English
