Opeth-Closure

Heal myself - a feather on my heart
Look inside - there never was a start
Peel myself - dispose of severed skin
All subsides - around me and within
There's nothing painful in this
There's no upheaval
Redemption for my pathos
All sins undone
Awaiting word on what's to come
In helpless prayers a hope lives on
'Cause I've come clean, I've forgotten what I promised
In the rays of the sun, I am longing for the darkness


Scene 1: /The bottom of a swamp in Pickwick Tennessee/
Lyrics

/Video/

Heal myself - a feather on my heart: /Clay (kneeling) washing his hands in the water/
Look inside - there never was a start: /Daytime reflection of his face in the swamp/
Peel myself - dispose of severed skin: /Clay (kneeling) starts tearing pieces of his skin off his arms and face. (Latex make up effects for fake skin)/
All subsides - around me and within:
/Camera circles around Clay (standing) to get a
complete view of the swamp surroundings/

Scene 2: /Cemetery in the middle of the woods/

There's nothing painful in this
There's no upheaval:
Redemption for my pathos
All sins undone:
/Camera view rises out of a grave, passes two other tombstones through the woods and heads straight for Clay/ @ 1minute, 7seconds into the song camera runs straight into Clay. Clay sticks his chest out as if he was overpowered by some unknown force, picks up a shovel that’s stuck in the mud next to him and heads down a path for the woods/ Camera angle shows the side of his face (covered in blood)/

1:31 Scene 3: /Clay disappears into the woods. He comes to an opening and looks towards the graveyard, then walks towards a tombstone/

1:55 Scene 4: /Clay starts digging up the grave

2:19 Scene 5: /Clay sticks his arm in the grave and starts pulling bones out/ walking towards the opposite end of the woods.

2:31 Scene 6: /Clay throws a brown bag over his shoulder and starts walking towards the opposite end of the woods.


2:44 Scene 7: /Marion is laying on a concrete slab (Dead) wearing a white dress, with her arms spread out. (Camera rises up from Marion’s view to Clay standing next to her with the bag of bones. Clay starts laying the bones on top of her and around her.

Awaiting word on what's to come
In helpless prayers a hope lives on
'Cause I've come clean, I've forgotten
what I promised
In the rays of the sun, I am longing for
The darkness:
/Clay picks up a cup of blood that’s sitting
next to her and pours it on her forehead

3:28 Scene 8: /Clay walks back towards the woods and continues to dig up the next grave. He repeats the bone bagging and walks back towards Marion. After he digs the last grave, he lays the last skull next to Marion, then lights a pentagram (made out of straw and gasoline). Marion awakes from the dead and her and Clay walk off into the woods together.
