 OPETH - Face Of Melinda Lyrics

f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
f21r3135 162414crr4
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
f21r3135 162414crr4
No joy would flicker in her eyes
f21r3135 162414crr4
Brooding sadness came to a rise
f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
Words would falter to atone
f21r3135 162414crr4
Failure had passed the stepping stone
f21r3135 162414crr4
She had sworn her vows to another
f21r3135 162414crr4
This is when no-one will bother
f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
f21r3135 162414crr4
A harlot of God upon the earth
f21r3135 162414crr4
Found where she sacrificed her ways
f21r3135 162414crr4
That hollow love in her face
f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
Still I plotted to have her back
f21r3135 162414crr4
The contentment that would fill the crack
f21r3135 162414crr4
My soul released a fluttering sigh
f21r3135 162414crr4
This day fell, the darkness nigh
f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
I took her by the hand to say
f21r3135 162414crr4
All faith forever has been washed away
f21r3135 162414crr4
I returned for you in great dismay
f21r3135 162414crr4
Come with me, far away to stay
f21r3135 162414crr4

f21r3135 162414crr4
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
f21r3135 162414crr4
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
f21r3135 162414crr4
But baffled herself with the final line
f21r3135 162414crr4
My promise is made but my heart is thine
f21r3135 162414crr4
