Only Jari could tell us for certain what it actually means, but I'm fairly certain that despite the melancholy pervasive on the entire album, none of the songs are about suicide.
as for the meaning, I think this song has the same meaning as the album cover :)
The Winter imagery seems pretty literal. And note that the lines "You don't have to die, you can rule in afterlife, just concede your soul to me, (your life is cheap) - no price -" is attributed to The Artful Spirit. Couple that with the line "I'm following the mistress of night" and I think we've got the meaning.
I'm sure you're all familiar with the album cover, a dead or dying man lying in the snow and a glimmering light just off in the distance.
Translate that into pure emotion and there you have it :)
