I'm really obsessed with Nightwish so naturally I'd love this song. But the cheesy sounds at the beginning are annoying. Lyrics as always are complex and interesting. Tarja, as always, is amazing. Once again with the "elven" you see a link to LOTR, which is in a lot of their songs. Basically there is this angel and she is living in the snow, in the cold, frozen, wolves come near but it seems they don't attack her; This other dude leaves there cave in search of a way to make the angel remembered, Then worries if she might die... At least that's the impression I get....
Pet peeve here: not all things elven are Tolkien. In fact, this ties in closer to Finnish folklore, which, surprise surprise, Tolkien drew heavily from.

If you want a metal band that draws heavily from Tolkien, go to Blind Guardian.
