 * play a E the 1st time


1st verse & 3rd verse:

"by the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
 the face of melinda neath blackened hair
 no joy would flicker at her eyes
 brooding sadness came to a rise"

"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"
