Face of Melinda - Opeth
Meaning:
He sees a
lady with black hair and sad looks. He falls in love immediately with her. He
tries but, he fails in his aim of capturing her heart. Instead, she chooses
another love. That love is God, religion. He feels she cheated on him with God
as represented in this line: "A harlot of God upon the earth". Either
way, he makes plans to win her back. He asks her to choose him. She explains
him her excuses. Her vows are already made. But, in the end, she slips that her
heart is still his: "My promise is made but my heart is thine."

Lyrics:
By the turnstile
beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda
neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker
in her eyes
Brooding sadness came
to a rise
Words would falter to
atone
Failure had passed the
stepping stone

| Taken by mikahsupageek |
She sworn her vows to
another
This is when no-one
will bother
And conceded pain in
crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon
the earth
Found where she
sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in
her face
Still I plotted to
have her back
The contentment that
would fill the crack
My soul released a
fluttering sigh
This day fell, the
darkness nigh
I took her by the hand
to say
All faith forever has
been washed away
I returned for you in
great dismay
Come with me, far away
to stay
Endlessly gazing in
nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices
and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself
with the final line
My promise is made but
my heart is thine
