Atonement Lyrics

Lyrics

Atonement

From Ghost Reveries2005

Written by Mikael Åkerfeldt

Produced by Jens Bogren, Opeth

Lyrics

Atonement

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Cleared the fog that was veiled around me

And blurred my sights

Suddenly, I'm no longer aching

To honor my plights

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Rising moon and my skin is peeling

Past undone

Suddenly, I can't justify

What I had become

[Instrumental Outro]
