Discover the story of the song > Harvest – Opeth

The song is about a protagonist who wants his partner to stay with him forever, but he knows that he's dying and has accepted his fate. He walks through an orchard and sees the withered surroundings, feeling drained and stalked by shadows. He feels he's the martyr in his own mournful story, veiled in pale embrace, while his partner must release their grip and let him go into the night.
