One of my favorite songs of theirs (musically), although I know I am in the minority for thinking that. Its just a fun song with fun lyrics. Tuomas is obviously a fantasy literature geek, and this song is about him building his band as if it were a dungeons and dragons party. Every fellowship is build to fulfill a quest, and their quest is immortality. Historically (and in fantasy literature) one achieves immortality by having their life deeds remembered by means of a song (or their own songs in this case).
As mentioned above, certain lines are tied to certain members. Pretty straightfoward and refreshing compared to the self-pitying slop in the following albums.
