Face Of Melinda Lyrics
Artist(Band):Opeth
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
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

Review about Face Of Melinda
Opeth's fave song | Reviewer: Andres | 7/15/2008
This is my favorite song from Opeth, which also is my favorite group. The hole CD and its concept are great, Mikael's a really great songwriter. I love his voice in this song and I love the song itself. It's mellow at the beggining and then it turns pretty heavy, but Mikael doesnt screams, so it gives that cool contrast cof heaviness with mellowness
genius | Reviewer: Mirjam | 12/30/2007
They perform this so well live. This is truely a gem. Mikael's songwriting and poetry really combine into a testiment that great musicians are still here, only hidden. I've been a fan since I first heard them, Blackwater Park LP, and have indulged in their entire careers worth of work since, early to present. They are never bored, never stale, and always persistant in their musicianship. "The Beatles" to the realm of metal in their revolutionary music. "Pink Floyd" in their artistic statement. Scratch all that. They are Opeth.
Simply Amazing | Reviewer: Mingo | 11/16/2007
This song is just amazing. Sometimes you cant describe a song with words. This song is one of those, 5 minutes and thirty four seconds, gut wrenching, heart breaking and simply amazing.
Story | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/20/2007
This is where he confronts Melinda after following her home (Moonlapse Vertigo).
He discovers that she still loves him but she is married to somebody else.
"She sworn her vows to another"
"My promise is made but my heart is thine"
P.S. <3 To Jonnypoo.

face of melinda | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/2005
mike's vocals sound great, the acoustic and elecltric riffs are all incredible especially the first heavy one, the lyrics are beautiful especially for a scandanavian death metal band. What more is there to say? this songs a heartbreaker from start to finish
