I think it's something to do with adultery.. "For with the wife of his best friend He spent his final night of freedom"

It's all about love.. "He knew that it would cost him dear But yet he dare not say Where he had been that fateful night A secret it must stay" fearing for what may happen to the woman he was having an affair with and obviously the friendship he's already risked. This is all I can come up with at the moment, and for the record Nightwish are amazing :)
