If you have the booklet from the original Dark Passion Play CD you know that there is a picture which shows us sluts in a Harem, so this song is about this "brides for one night", about the dark, seductive way of their unreal love, and about how they kill her "bashful" victims/punters (I don't know the right word,sry) after seducing them. I think the narrator wants to appeal to one's conscience, he writes the most about the unreal love, about the pain and how the people's beauty gets rotten after a time. I think this song is very good (the lyrics are by Emppu, the lyrics by Tuomas) and can be related to not only to Harems, but to the global society or to many countries, just my opinion.
