No Picture Kcaz Average	#1 by Kcaz at Sep 14, 2005 at 5:38 AM EST
	RAPE RAPE!!!!!!! The solo from Lamentations is better, but only because of the pinch harmonic he hits. best Opeth moment for me ever.

No Picture albert Rhythm Player	#2 by albert casualtie at Jan 6, 2006 at 11:38 PM EST
	i think its about a murderer who has to keep killing and killing because it gives him pleasure or something like that.

No Picture Rob Wanna Be	#3 by Rob Goode at May 26, 2006 at 1:13 AM EST
	solo at 2:41 = eargasmness

No Picture Jake Badass	#4 by Jake Calhoun at Jun 10, 2006 at 8:42 PM EST
	It's definitely about rape: "Screaming out too late Losing to my hate" "Deafening shrieks pierced the night" among countless other lines that have already been used to support this idea.
