Cover art for The Moor lyrics by Opeth

Both of the your views make perfect sense. However, when looking at the lyrics to the album "Still Life", you'll notice that there is a story in the lyrics. "The Moor", track 1, is basically chapter 1. This song describes how he was banished from his village because of his religious beliefs and everyone was disgusted in him. However, he is returning, and he has no forgiveness for anyone except for the one girl he loves- Melinda. He has come back for Melinda.
