Cover art for The Amen Corner lyrics by Opeth

I think it is quite evident from this song, and the other songs on this record, that the woman is not finding comfort in another man, but in the Christian faith.

"The celestial touch" "the icon smiles".

It is quite likely that the man and the woman were atheists (or worse, given he became a ghost) before he died, and he is disappointed that she mourns him less than he probably wanted, and finds comfort not in memories of him, but in the faith.
