what is black rose immortal about?

I believe its a lamentation for a lost love (dead?)....he does say "until we rejoice in the meadow of the end", so i assume she's dead...
 
god i love that song.. i think its my favourite one... *sigh*
the ending kicks ass
 
"You are in a forest unknown
The Secret Orchard"
...
"Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd"

I'd say she's dead too.
 
"You are in a forest unknown
The Secret Orchard"

I always wonder what those lines are all about...
In blackwater park, I was thinking Opeth use the orchad [harvest] in reference to the apple [forbidden fruit] in the Bible...
but in this song, i really wonder!!!

anyone can give me the answer.
 
I read an interview where Mikael said that the songs on Morningrise were about lost loves or family members who died. He said most of it was written from 3rd person point of view. Basicaly I think it has to do with someone dying, the name is "Black Rose IMORTAL" after all.
