beautiful song
akerfeldt says in the booklet of the Still Life digipack re-release:
"As Peter was working on his leads I sat down and finished the lyrics. Back home I had been writing a short story about religious beliefs contra atheism and how it would have affected someone in the old or even ancient days. The main character was a religious man who somewhere down the line started questioning his faith and eventually would lose it. He was to be banished from his village by "the council" and would only return years later for his then past love, Melinda, who was scheduled to be unwillingly married through family pressures. Yes, quite romantic at times but overall it was a pretty dark affair that I'm still quite happy about today."
