I think that this song is about murder and the haunting guilt or other consequences that ensue. "I feel they're getting closer; their howls are sending chills down my spine," for instance, indicates that the memory or spirits of the murder victims are closing in on and tormenting the murderers. This makes sense because most of Within Temptation's songs [that I have heard] seem to entail an analysis of sin.
