The first four lines are: Open your beers. And dump the cans on my brain. Receive no water. Give nothing to the lifeguard.

I remember when I first listened to Opeth, I wondered ''who's the guy doing the soft vocals?'' and wondered who the band's other vocalist was. One of the best parts of Opeth songs is Akerfeldt's ability to rapidly shift between sounding like a demon to having a soothing and calming voice.

This outro is unmatched.

seriously one of the best metal songs ever written

Even if you don’t like the growling, you can’t deny the overwhelmingly talented musicianship

I am so addicted to this band. I put all their studio albums into a playlist and have been listening to all 12h 57m of it as a single piece of music. Incredible journey to take

That break at 8:35 into the jazzy segment. I don't know how to describe the feeling, I don't get just goosebumps, my eyes get teary due to how beautiful it is.

Started listening to Opeth way back in high school, around 2011~2012, for literally a decade. I started with their 'metal' era with, beginning with "Ghost Reveries", which made me go down a rabbit hole and listen to everything they'd released. In this decade of constantly following up with their sound, they were there during my ups and downs, helping in so many aspects of my life, metal-wise. I had to deal with personal issues, I felt lonely a bunch of times in those years, and even struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. Opeth's music to me was an escape from reality, I could always go back and find comfort, I felt connected with so many of Mikael's lyrics, it made me rethink my life decisions and start to improve. Thankfully I've found a way to deal with my inner problems and traced a well tough path for my life. I managed to overcome my depression, which I never felt ever again so far, managed to get my bachelor's degree, and started to take care of my body by eating healthy, exercise and and stopping using drugs. And all and all never abandoned listening to their music. It helped me a lot. I mean it. Got me an Opeth tattoo on my arm, I dunno, I am grateful for knowing this band, thankful for all the good times I had with them, and plus, ITS FUCKING AWESOME In ten years, I have not been able to attend an Opeth concert, because they rarely played in my hometown, Sao Paulo, Brazil. And this was on my bucket list, for years I've been wanting to see them live for the first time. But the universe granted me my wish, next year, on February 8th, 2023, Opeth will play a gig in Sao Paulo and guess what, I got the tickets!!!! I am so happy that I will watch my favorite band for the very first time!!!! I feel so good Thank you, Opeth

The fact that this song is in E standard, but still heavy AF, just shows how fucking brilliant Mikael Åkerfeldt's songwriting is.

The outro renewed my faith in humanity.

Floating on mist Crept up the caverns of my brain Received no warning From nothing to a life code Walk with me, you'll never leave Wait to see, your spirit free Tell me how your hearts in need As I drown you in the sea Unwinding snares of distrust Your fist in my fast grip Look me in the eye I'm clear This is your time Face down beneath the waterline gazing into the deep From love to death in a timespan of seconds Oblivious to regret, pushed into belief In a liquid cellaphone gasping for air Mercy in my eyes is the shade of the night Face down beneath the waterline gazing into the deep The piercing sounds you make Soaring higher higher now And once left in my wake Your memory's nothing but the scars on me All over now, forgotten why I needed this Standing down, dissapear into the obscure Resting days, waiting for new desease Biding time looked inside insanity It always burns within The downward spiral never ends When driven into sin Your salvstion's found in a sinners deed All over now, forgotten why I needed this Standing down dissapear into the obscure Resting days, waiting for new disease Biding time, looked inside insanity Devil guides the way Tells me what to say Pours himself inside Snuffs the final light Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me

8:40 do you guys hear those MOTHERFUCKING ghost notes on the snare?? God DAMN, chills!

The syncopation in this song is out of control. Luckily Akerfeldt wasn't afraid to make that brilliant outro riff go on forever; extended head banging commence. Gets better with each listen.

The riffs of this song are one of the most heavy riffs I've ever heard

Opeth has fantastic transitions, but 8:30-8:40 is stellar.

8:34 One of the smoothest transitions ever created in the history of music

My brother’s bday, the sixth of September. We saw Opeth together a week before he passed. I have to go through their music every time I think of him. This is musical perfection.

0:45 *- Cooking with Opeth* FLUFFING UP EGGS WITH TASTY KERNELS OF MY GRAIN RECEIVED THE WATER POURED THAT ONTO A LIVE GOAT

The ending drumming is AWESOME!!!!

This song grows on you every time you listen to it!

The drumming has a very distinct jazzy feel.

I can't get enough of this song, the transition from pure fucking power to melodic beauty is just insane.

I cant believe they consider this their worst album. This was the first i heard and to this day my favorite.

It’s ironic that for all of Opeth’s extreme complexity, the fan favorite riff is in 4/4, one note, and repeating in a 4 bar pattern.

That album cover is more scarier than the most brutal death metal album covers...

This might just be the greatest song ever made

This song feels like a long lost winter smell coming back and delivering a forgotten box filled with dolls, clothes and slumber of someone who can never be forgotten. This delivers.

The double bass drum kick from start till about the 1:10 mark without stopping is endurance at it's best!

Classic Opeth. Long live Peter and Lopez. RIP old Opeth

9:59 the moment when you realize that you have drums in the air

Drummer is so good, reminds me of Bruford in King Crimson era.

This song has too many amazing parts to list, but that riff at 9:59 is so damn good...

Opeth is one of the greatest bands ever

I could listen to this song a million times and never get tired of it. These guys are insanely talented and the outro to this song always leaves me wishing it would just go on for infinity. A true masterpiece!

Voice like an angel and a devil in the same song👌

How is a band THIS good?!

Ranking the sections of this song (cuz why not): 1. Outro 2. Intro 3. Both Acoustic parts 4. Second solo 5. First solo 6. Heavy riff with chromatic vocal line at 7:38 7. Chorus (alternating between clean and growl)

Opeth's Deliverance outro and Pantera's floods outro are the best ones ever!

It's like a whole album in a single song and I mean that in a good way. So much going on but it all works. I love how the guitar solos come unexpectedly. There isn't a typical build up to them or a segment where traditional metal bands might go verse chorus verse chorus solo bridge or verse chorus verse chorus Bridge solo. It's like if they dropped one anywhere into the song it'd still feel right. I'm not familiar with their stuff. I've only started listening to them more seriously in recent times.

God damn. Been listening to Opeth for almost 20 years now. Every now and then I come back to their music and it takes me right back. Some of the best mos t atmopsheric metal ever

Probs one of the greatest songs ever

AMAZING MUSICIANSHIP!!!!! MARTIN LOPEZ!!!!!!

Few bands can reach the soul, this is one

To me the Blackwater Park album is the best metal I've ever heard. But they've never let me down. So much beauty in this prog metal - epic and timeless too. Perfect execution from all members. Even the droning iterations for psyche effects are not too much - because it's so beautiful. Berlin nxt time - if no Corona lock downs 2021. Live performance seems to be out of this world too.

Fifteen years ago, this was the first song I heard from Opeth.

so many vocal technics in one song...

5:48: Latinamericans: It´s reggaeton time

Master piece. Ending goes so well with the track's name. Splendid...

that reverse piano at the end sounds so good

this will never be not awesome.. and that ending part, so generously sized.. perfect!

There's something within this song that I wish everyone could see

The drumming at the end is the deliverance they are singing about. It's like when you are run over by the train. Endlessly.

Man these guys sure do love the octatonic scale

I love blasting this in my car. epic

Just saw these guys the other night - this song live HOLY SHIT. Just the vibrations and thumping in your chest from that opening WOW

Fuck, that growl is amazing.

Holy shit remembering this song live, the outro seriously puts you in a trance in what seems like forever! Just keeps going and going and going!!! Feeling the drums destroying your chest, Absolutely incredible!

The ad that played before this was an un-skippable ad for mainstream country shit. Now I have to listen to this 8 times in a row to cleanse myself.

What a beautiful piece of art. Opeth is way beyond musical limits.

just saw them play this live last week. amazing

Anything by Opeth is fabulous. Not a song I dont like! They caught my attention years ago.Very talented and always will be my favorite band!

Best metal song ever.

Awesome live: 9:40- 13:38

0:30 - the best riff in their discography. IMHO off course.

Humanities time for deliverance is here and now. Any true drummer knows this song defines elite drumming abilities. Hail to opeth and Lopez on drums. I hope his heart condition heals with all my soul.

Binging their discography back to back right now. I might like this album even more than Still Life and Blackwater Park.

From 8:40 to the end of the song, i want played at my funeral

Deliverance is brutal as fuck

20 years after I first heard this song, at 10:58 the addition of those china hits on the off beat is still one of my favorite ever drum things.

This is the first song I heard from Opeth and I was converted. Cheers

The piano notes at the end are perfection.

The outro combined with their galactic serenity theme stage film made me think they were attempting to stimulate what doing DMT is musically. That was my thought tonight as the show came to an end in KCMO. It was perfection!

Not many people know it but Steven co-composed deliverance. In fact the whole damnation album

Thinking of a song with an intro like blackwater park, middle part with Ghost of perdition, and the outro of Deliverance..

13 minutes and 38 seconds of pure fucking genius! What a song!

My favorite breakdown of Opeth's.

The music speaks to my soul

My absolute favourite song by Opeth. Master's apprentices got me interested, this got me hooked.

The devil and the Angel = a fucking Masterpiece

Floating on mist Crept up the caverns of my brain Received no warning From nothing to a life code Walk with me, you'll never leave Wait to see your spirit free Tell me how your heart's in need As I drown you in the sea Unwinding snares of distrust Your wrist in my fast grip Look me in the eye, I'm clear This is your time Face down beneath the waterline Gazing into the deep From love to death In a time span of seconds Oblivious to regret Pushed into belief In liquid cellophane Gasping for air Mercy in my eyes Is the shade of the night The piercing sounds you make Soaring higher, higher now And once left in my wake Your memory's nothing but the scars on me All over now Forgotten why I needed this Standing down Disappear into the obscure Resting days Waiting for new disease Biding time Locked inside insanity It always burns within The downward spiral never ends When driven into sin Your salvation's found in a sinners deed The devil guides the way Tells me what to say Pours himself inside And snuffs the final light Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me

Saw them live during their India 2019 tour and they played this. Best night ever !

may be one of the most under rated masterpiece in the history of music thnx for making my day 1000 time better

Such an epic outro! These guys know their stuff and for sure know how to end a song!!!

For me, one of the best songs ever made.

I'm totally glad I heard this song in live, it was so damn crazy. I'll be there the next time they come to Argentina 🤭🤘❤

4:03 Deliverance is one of the greatest songs I've heard, but that is one hell of a low effort solo.

The ending of this song gives me joy.

I have this song as my alarm.

The heavy bass and grove keeps the track going and listener glued to the whole 13+ min's of it.... Quiet an experience...!!!

10:00 El outro del tema es la raja, la bateria tiene tremendo ritmo.

Nicest clean drumming I’ve ever heard. Those ride accents, ghost notes and fills are unreal

I saw Opeth live at NH1 Weekender in 2019. I headbanged my brains out, now I feel the pain just listening to the track.

8:50 I love how the guitar says "deliverance" ahead of Mikael.

I love the old Opeth

Truly a masterpiece. 💗

I love this band

In my opinion one of the best, if not the best, metal songs ever.

8:39 puts a smile on my face

this is the best song i have ever heard in my fucking life
