[edit] Song

This song was written by Mattias Lindblom and Anders Wollbeck. It's inspired by a musical motif in "Requiem" by Mozart. It features a theater atmosphere accompanied by orchestra guitars and Turunen's powerful voice.

According to Turunen the song describes her personality perfectly well and identifies her as a singer.[cite this quote]

[edit] Video

The video was shot at Devil's Lake in Berlin, Germany. It was directed by Jörn Heitmann (who had already worked with Turunen directing Nightwish's "Sleeping Sun" 2005 video). It also features four characters interpreted by Turunen herself. They are: the Phoenix, the Dead Boy, the Doll and the Queen of Ice.
