This song is definitely a favourite of mine by Royal Hunt. I've realised that they use quite a lot of religious metaphors in their lyrics--but that doesn't necessarily mean the meaning in itself is religious.
I don't know why, but when I read these lyrics, it actually makes me think that he's speaking of a more motherly figure than a lover. "Even the day when we met, I'll always recall with the deepest regret," somehow that shows more of a regret from a mother's point of view, maybe regretting that she has had a child, more than a lovers/religious point of view. Maybe the figure wasn't loving, and kept her child locked away and lied to them about the truth of the world around them. And this DOES go back to religion, as some people are made by their parents to become part of something without choice.
I don't KNOW for sure what the song is about, but I just like to think it's something deeper than what it's making out to be. :) It's just a suggestion.
