Cover art for Daughter of the Moon lyrics by Insomnium

"Trail amidst the snow-clad trees, winding is the way Sunless is the path we roam, bitter is the air we breathe Fell is the icy blast, coming from the hills Blowing through my ailing heart, wailing in the emptiness inside

Vanished is the light we had, hidden deep in rimy soil Bereft of us the one we cherished, lost for ever our love"

this explains the death of his lover

"Still at night I see her figure Flickering on moonlit glades But passing is the hope she's giving Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again

The clouds are moving heavily, across the livid sky Yonder the hues are darkening, slowly turning grey to black For the two who stray in dusk, all hope is long since gone Cruel is the winter's reign, merciless the grasp of despair"

i think this about the dreams he has about being with her again, and then waking up to realize she is not really there...

"For what mirth there is left in life for a motherless son What solace in this world for a widower to find"

now this intruges me, as it brings in a son..

"Slender the shape in night, unbearable the beauty Shining in the silvery light, watching me with wistful eyes Evanescent this vision, unattainable this illusion But an image in my troubled dreams, hewn out of yearning and rue"

this explains the dream a little more and also tells that it troubles him greatly.

i dont understand the hint towards a son though? there is only the one line.

forever smacked: "bitter is the air we breathe" "for the two who stray in dusk".

I also wonder whether this is a continuation of the track "The day it all came down"
