Orchid

Released on: May 15, 1995

An interview with Mikael Akerfeldt before the release of orchid:
- Interviewer: "Do you want to give people any message with your lyrics?."
- Mikael: "Our music is very atmospheric, so I want to write atmospheric lyrics as well. I don't have any message in them. I'm very much into illustrative lyrics as you might know if you read them."
Entrevista con Mikael Akerfeldt antes del lanzamiento de Orchid:
- Entrevistador: "¿Quieres transmitirle algún mensaje a las personas con tus letras?."
- Mikael: "Nuestra música es bastante atmosférica, así que quiero escribir letras atmosféricas también. No hay ningún mensaje en ellas. Me gusta mucho ilustrar con mis letras como probablemente ya lo habrás notado si las has leído."

Lyrics source: Genius.

Once again I've cried
Unto the moon
That burning flame
That has guided me
Through all these years
The lake from which you flow

With eyes of fire
Once unlit but now alive
This energy, sparkling
Like a morning star

The morning star

Riding the fires of
The northern gold
I've searched the eye
I laugh under the weeping moon

I am the watcher in the skies
Nor the emeralds know my mark
Glisten to mark their presence
Set the enigma ablaze
Searching...
Finding...
Burn the winter landmarks
That said I was there
Burn the spirit of cold
That travel through my soul.

"According to Åkerfeldt, and on the later The Roundhouse Tapes live album, he would describe the song’s lyrics as “absolute black metal nonsense”.
De acuerdo a Miakel Åkerfeldt, y al álbum en vivo The Roundhouse Tapes, él describe la letra de esta canción como 'Puro satanismo sin sentido'."
