Enchantress came to me
And said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hunt this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
I dream of wolves
With them I run
For me she lengthened the night
I am home
I am in peace
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
And said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hunt this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
I dream of wolves
With them I run
For me she lengthened the night
I am home
I am in peace
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings

Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
Begins with an invitation to an oniric world, like a seductive snaring siren's chant that the dreamer follows and then is relieved from awakeness. Like a blank mind that worries no more, being now in a different layer of existence, resting for the night from the troubles of everyday life, embraced in unconciousness: free.
Please let me know if anyone else thought along these tracks though:
Almost each line in the song adds up into the overall theme of a unfaithfulness.
Through the shroud of snow (the relationship) i saw paradise (the enchantress)
Running with wolves refers to the lust for adventure and in this case straying from a partner.
The chorus and the part about lengthening the night seems to allude to the feeling of false security lying in someone else's arms.
Maybe Im just taking everything metaphorically nowadays haha
The beginning of the song shows me a small girl within a home, a dagger resting over her heart. She prepares to bring it down, but just as the song begins to use the instruments the angelic figure (which is the second voice in the song) comes in and rests a hand over the girl's hands, and tells her to come meet her at a lake in the night.
Curious, the girl agrees and at nightfall she follows the sound of the song (or the memory of it) to a simple lake. She sees the angelic creature again, who literally gives the girl a temporary paradise to escape the world's horrors.
During this time the girl becomes one with the world, nature and its creatures, learning of it and finding that there are still some things in the world worth living for. The angelic creature literally has given the girl a night of rest and peace, one night to simply decide on the world and see if it is worth living for. And whether the girl decides to live or die, either way the angel gives her the rest she wants.
