Probably "Serenity Painted Death" or any other long tune in "Still Life", but one thing I don't see in Opeth is a big HUGE highlight. The reason for that problem is that they are too consistent in quality, so most of their long songs are highly memorable.

EDIT: this poll was mine? wow, my memory's awful.

De-lie-verance? .. nu-uh, it's not.. :)
But then again, it's not "i hear them devowring" either, so i guess it's kinda cute of him.

Me, i like Blackwater park the best, but there are a lot of good ones.

So many good songs, it's hard to choose I think I'll go with Deliverance, though

I like To bid you farewell, Hope Leaves and Ghost of Perdition, but the song I picked stands close to them too. It's "de-lie-ve-rance" (c) Mikael at Lamentations DVD

:O the drapery falls is a bit over rated but does show what opeth can do, but on the other hand The Moor defines every inch of opeth from its clean vocals, death metal vocals, and dynamics etc...

Ghost of Perdition knocked Drapery off my top slot. That song is stunning.

The Drapery Falls, which is an interesting choice for me as I also find it to be one of the most...how shall I put this... "pedestrian" themed songs that I like.  But there is something about the stanza and overall composition that just feels right.
Ghost of Perdition is a close 2nd.  I have actually only been into Opeth about 1 year. BP,  GR and the Lamentation DVD are the selections I have to this point. 
 
PS - Surprised The Grand Conjuration wasn't an option, despite the completely gay video.

oh my, I was fearing a poll like this.
 
IMPOSSIBLE to pick an ultimate Opeth song.  I just clicked anywhere, which happened to be The Drapery Falls...and I can live with that. 
 
Goddamn, I love Opeth.

The Drapery Falls. One of the best songs in the last 10 years IMO.

My favorite is done in multiple parts over all of their albums.  It is the silence that comes between the tracks.  A true masterpiece of restraint.  Tongue
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I'll go for Black Rose Immortal, probably the best song off my favorite album. But it's nearly impossible to choose, they've been so consistently good.

The Baying of the Hounds!

I also love The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls and A Fair Judgement, among many others...
