This might be my favorite song off of "My Arms; Your Hearse" Simply by virtue of the lyrical content, the verses paint a stark and beautiful picture of isolation, as if you can see yourself walking through a dark forest in the grip of Winter. It's almost as if the narrorator has stayed behind for so long that he witnesses his homeland being abandoned and turning into ruins over the centuries.
@Tindalos I love that concept of total isolation, and I can relate to my own allegorical meaning of this song. Musically my favorite part of the song is that long vocal harmony near the beginning. I have to say I probably like April Ethereal a bit more though.

@Tindalos winter tends to be a metaphor for death in poetry too!
