Opeth, who previously shared a short video teaser for the track ‘Ingen Sanning Är Allas (Universal Truth)’ from their latest album, In Cauda Venenum (Nuclear Blast Records), has shared the full video version of the English language version of the song. The video was created with acclaimed director Jess Cope (“Frankenweenie,” “Metallica: Here Comes Revenge”, Steven Wilson) and follows a melancholic and bitter man on the brink of self-destruction and insanity as he delves into a sinister alternate world as reality crumbles around him. Cope previously collaborated with Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt on the music video for ‘Drag Ropes’ for his side project Storm Corrosion. You can watch the clip and check out Opeth’s full string of world tour dates, continuing next week in China, and into 2020 with a highly anticipated headline run of North America.

‘Universal Truth (Ingen Sanning Är Allas)1 (Lyrics)
Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow
There comes a time in life when death may come too slow
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
You have waited far too long
But Spring is set in bloom
You have conquered love inside
Yet sorrow is your doom
The debts are long since paid
Inheritance is set
Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget
At sunrise Friday morning
A haven for your sins
The written dedication
Etched into your skin
Time won’t heal the wounds you bare
Between old pride and desperate prayers
Time won’t heal any wounds you bare
A set few years of your life are stolen
Light cast on the obvious
Behold the white when it’s faded golden
A stranger‘s truth holds no water here
But soon we may have learned
Dead sympathy, an aversion proceeds
A voice lives in your chest
That comforts wary thoughts
Yet the brook is still too wide
To bridge the gap you’ve sought
You trade your vices every day religiously
A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see
You gave away too much, a harness on your kin
For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin
Yet you are deserted
The day in zenith now
You made it through the night
Voice of perdition
Came and went far out of sight
