Lyric discussion by Bathory 

i'm not sure about necrophelia, it never actually mentions what happens after the murder. to me this song's about a man (a deeply disturbed one at that), who feels a desire to destroy something beautiful. he find's the most beautiful girl he can ("more beautiful than any woman I'd seen"), woo's her and akes her amid the wild roses to which he keeps comparing her where he kills her.

alternately this song could be about a man who murders his girlfriend in order to preserve her beauty. however the line "From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one" along with "On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow" makes it sound as though he'd planned the whole thing from before he ever met her.

whatever it's about it's a brilliant song, it's so macabre and yet, so beautiful i love everything about this song
