Just because it is such a beautifully crafted song, and Michael Akerfeldt has the purest range of vocals since Bruce Dickinson and Freddy Mercury combined, here are the lyrics to “Hours of wealth”:

“Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And the fever that’s been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window
I seem to recognize
All the people passing by
But I am alone
And far from home
And nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness
And I’m biding my time
Once I’m sure of my task I will rise again”
