    This is definitely their best ballad ever... And one of the best ballads in Symphonic Metal History

      What's even more amazing is how it is not only inspired by Schubert's Erlkonig, but that it has elements of it, like the lines by the Elf King, and the repeating melody in the background, as a honage to the repeating chords in Erlkonig which represents the galloping of the horse.

    I had a dream snd thought it was a great idea for a book, so it took me about 3 years to write, and I decided to call it Once Upon a Nightmare, and one day I happen to come across this song and was all hyped that it has the same title. But the real shock was that the lyrics really matched all the themes of my story

    I feel like a total idiot for just realising after all these years that this song is basically a reinterpretation of Der Erlkönig 🤦🏻‍♀️ Since I always sang the female part I never paid attention to what the male voice was saying and when I saw "my daughters will take care of you" I thought: "Hehe, like on Der Erlkönig" but then he said "and if you don't come I'll take you by force", and I was like: "No, this is totally Der Erlkönig!". I guess I never noticed before because it's in English instead of German (and I'm more of a music than a lyrics kind of person). The line "A father's life destroyed" makes so much sense now.
