Lyrics
There is a voice calling for me
There is a light coming down on me
There is a doubt that is clearing
There is a day that is dawning
There is a wound that is healing
There is a season waiting for me
There is a road that is turning
There is a fire still burning
A sickness in me
Constant pace towards the end
The need is stronger
This time the need is deeper
There is a peace I am searching
There is a freedom I'm depending on
There is a pain that's never ending
There is a rain falling only on me
There is a dream I am living
There is a life I am dreaming of
There is a death I'm awaiting
There is ahome I am deserting
I hold my breath and wait
Only moments remain
Movement for departed hope
Effect for absent friend
Sever the faith from my body
Leave me begging for more
Take what I have and deliver me
Into everlasting sleep
Soothing trance
Colours fade
And disappear
Ethereal light
Showing me what I can do without
In a motionless scenes
There is only me
I take what I can
Controlling you to get ahead
Fading away
And leaving
Long for sleep
Closer now
Lead the way into death
Every wretched dream
I have left behind
Every waking hour
I lie in wait
Sucked inside by will
Gone into the flood
All my questions unfurled
As I was put to the test
Once I'm below there's no turning back
Plunging into the deepest void
Departed shell left drained behind
Pacing roads unknown
Searching for a new home
Desert in my eye
Barren lands inside

[@metalheadwrestling5928]

Words cannot describe how much I love this band.

[@murderburger1811]

It just hits different than other metal. They sew so much emotion into the songs. Has and will be my favorite band for eternity.

[@stevesalt8003]

No they can't, but I hear you. It's true musical genius. The way the melodies tie together is just something else. It's impossible to answer what style they are. There everything and more. Like you said though, these words cannot describe the love 🙂

[@monikaparmar2061]

[@MidnightNaomi]

Don't get me wrong, I love the new Opeth... but I absolutely crave this stuff. Every single beat of this song, and the rest of the tracks from the album, is perfection. Mike's gut-wrenching growls, the relentless, driving, punchy distorted guitar tone, intricate rhythm work, dream-like and trance-inducing mellow sections, just... everything. Fucking phenomenal, and completely unmatched.

[@stevesprinkle6827]

MidnightNaomi I 💯 agree with everything you've just said. Opeth is a fuckin' brilliant band! This song and the rest of the album are favorites.

[@chrismillynn7537]

I cannot agree unfortunately - I really don't like much of what they have done lately. ... but their heavy work, their heavy work...

[@BrandonBames]

Agree with everything you said. The main thing I'm noticing upon revisiting this album in regards to later albums is the absence of Steven Wilson's production. Akerfeldt is an incredible producer in his own right and does indeed have a clear defined path that makes sense for him to step into producing, but what's missing is the dreaminess in the mellow parts that Steven Wilson brought. It's fun to go back to Blackwater Park through Damnation and take note of the Porcupine Tree-ness of it all.

[@kaaijer]

Yup. 2000 - 2005 was absolutely golden: Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Damnation, GHOST REVERIES (favorite)...

[@ashleafontenot1262]

It is "Master's Apprentice," he introduces it that way live. I bought the original copy when it was released, that was the title. They must have changed the title do to legal issues, as it was named after a band of the same name. Either that, or the Mandela Effect has cursed us both.

[@thebroskis6364]

This song is extremely underrated. The first time I heard this, those riffs completely rock. And then the midsection where it transitions, to a softer sound, that gave me chills. And then finally the death growl takes you by surprise before the outro. Sounds very evil. I think this is overshadowed by the title track but this is just as good in my opinion.

The last song on Deliverance (By the pain I see in others) is about a demon possessing a person. In this album art, you can see the demon watching through the windowpane looking at its target (the person being possessed). Next, on the Damnation album art, you will see the possessed person standing next to the bed.

[@nocopyright7912]

"Master's Apprentices" is a song by the Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It appears on their album "Deliverance," which was released in 2002. The song is known for its intricate instrumentation, dynamic shifts, and intense atmosphere, characteristic of Opeth's style. It showcases both heavy, aggressive sections and melodic, atmospheric passages, typical of the band's progressive metal sound. The lyrics explore themes of inner conflict, existential questioning, and spiritual turmoil, which are common themes in Opeth's music. Overall, "Master's Apprentices" is regarded as one of the standout tracks on the "Deliverance" album and a fan favorite among Opeth enthusiasts.
