Lyric discussion by NeverFaiding 

Just warning you, i talk a lot!

-Baptized with a perfect name- amaranth=flower=symbolic for never faiding. Was born perfect and perfectly innocent

-The doubting one by heart- this referrs to people who question what is stated by the society OR to people who lost their innocense because of questioning god.

-Alone without himself- your belief in god is part of yourself. If you dont have it or deny it, you dont have yourself

-War between him and the day- day is light, seeing clearly. Its war because you dont want to see the truth

-Need someone to blame- you feel guilty bacause you dont believe/arent innocent and need to blame someone else

-In the end little he can do alone- well denying yourself you wont reach anything. And you are alone without your beliefs.

-You believe but what you see- again denying what you believe if theres no proof. Innocense would believe without a proof.

-You receive but what you give- you get what you deserve, which is not much if you dont believe and arent innocent

-Caress the one The never-fading Rain in your heart- the never faiding means amaranth. But never faiding rain means that there will be allways sorrow. Caress it because its part of you (in your heart)

-The tears of snow-white sorrow- Only an innocent person can fell true sorrow. Or by ferling sorrow you get innocense. -Caress the one, The hiding Amaranth in a land of the daybreak- Amaranth is hiding in the land of the daybreak. Of clearness. You have to see clear to find Amaranth, the never faiding innocense.

-apart from the wandering pack- people denying their beliefs (again). Dont wander with them. They are not innocent (of course)

-in this brief flight of time- life is short, you dont have that much time to realize and reach innocense

-you reach for the ones who ever dare- you have to go with the people who dare to believe, to hope and to search for innocense

-reaching, searching, for something untouched- searching for innocense, for Amaranth

-hearing voices of the never faiding calling- you must be really close if you can hear him/her. Follow the voice.

I read most of the comments (just not the newer ones) and while i was writing i finnally undedrstood! ^^ the whole thing is about finding Amaranth who represents the everlasting innocense. (innocense will allways exist, thats why its never faiding) well its actually a mixture of innocense and your beliefs. Did you see it? Amaranth is the pure sorrow, innocense is the never faiding rain in your heart (im sure these go together). I actually want to put a giant question mark over the song and my interpretation. There is not the one meaning of the song. It has the one you give it and thats why i love nightwish so much! also sorry for my bad english im german

no wait i think the relation between the innocense and immortality (never faiding, amaranth) is that amaranth has never faiding innocense ^^ he represents the innocense.
