I listened to the album this song is from, Book of Secrets, so much as a wee one. This song is based on the poem by Alfred Noyes by the same name. So this song taught me some literature! It’s pretty dark. Fun fact: One time someone started reciting to me the part of the poem describing the moon, and I identified it as being from the correct poem because of my familiarity with this song. It made me look all well-read and cultured even though I’m not. :D
