It seems the sons of winter and stars are the polar lights; aurora borealis/australis. Because when the radiation released by the sun (a star) reaches the polar regions of the planet (where one can poetically say winter is eternal), It interacts with the magnetosphere of the earth to create polar lights. Here are some lyrical references:
“Symphony of dying lights” because northern lights appear as many waves, disappear in the dark sky and starting again.
“And life and death became abound” the sky is alive with light above the frozen polar region mostly devoid of life due to the cold temperatures.
“I have awakened the darkness” May reference the beliefs of ancient cultures that the polar lights are spirits of the dead ancestors coming to visit earth temporarily
“Taste the fear! Taste the pain! I am the one who seeks vengeance” This and other danger/conflict/ adventure themed lyrics seen through much of the song are I think Jari’s imagination running wild while looking at the sky and imagining the northern lights/ ancestor spirits having battles, competitions, games, etc. It’s a reference to their playful wavelike movements and mysteriousness. (If you see it or look at a video of aurora borealis and you’ll see what I mean)
“They will never survive, they'll die” references to the transitory nature of the polar lights since they’re only visible in low light conditions. Once dawn comes, they can’t be seen with the human eye and appear to ‘die’
“We fly beyond the birth of worlds” The radiation of the sun, once deflected by earth’s magnetosphere will travel many light years away to distant parts of our universe. It will reach nebulas (celestial nurseries) where stardust is accumulating to form young stars, planets and solar systems, and then keep going…
“So old I’ve become …That it was just an illusion”” references how the energy of the stars/suns was never created nor will it be destroyed (according to laws of thermodynamics) but just transformed into different things. It always was and will be, it’s as old as time itself (I’m not a scientist feel free to correct errors!)
“Someday I will find what I am here for, who am I?... The energy flows in me like a river of stars” Jari is realizing that same sun’s energy that makes the polar lights is also a part of him (plants grow from sunshine, its energy works its way up the food chain, etc).
“Our world shall never die” as long as new suns and planets with magnetospheres are created in the universe, there will always be the phenomenon of the polar lights.
“In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn” referring to the solar wind (radiation) and apparent disappearance at dawn (according to human eyes).
