December Elegy Lyrics
May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven
I find thy lilies there of snow
where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life
Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime...
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven
where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime...

Mm.. I loove this song!
I think its probably just about winter. The band are from the netherlands, and in the winter there you only get a few hours of light each day. Last verse talks about "midwinternight inside" as in, the very darkest of their dark nights. And people are known to get depressed in the winter there because it just dark all day - probably when the song was written.
I dont mean the netherlands - i mean Scandanavia. Sorry about that. :P
I'll agree with Blighto, yeah, I think it's about depression.
I thought it was about depression when I first heard it too. I could relate to it so much!
