Entwine was a Finnish gothic metal band from Lahti, Finland. They were originally assembled as a death metal band under name 'Kaamos' ('Polar night' in English) in Lahti, Finland in 1995 by guitarist and vocalist Tom Mikkola, drummer Aki Hanttu and bassist Teppo Taipale. They changed their name to Entwine in 1997 when they decided to change the musical style to gothic metal and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Panu Willman was added shortly after to the band's line-up. In December of that year, Entwine recorded its first demo, entitled Divine Infinity. In February of 1998 keyboard player Riitta Heikkonen joined the band.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After all these days are gone.
The endless haze will rise.
I close my eyes.
I'm safe from all harm.
I'm safe in a dream.
I want you to stay.
'Cause I need your love.
I need your touch.
I long for your embrace.
On the edge of time.
All the scenes are falling behind.
It seems that all is lost.
I close my eyes.
I'm safe from all harm.
I'm safe in a dream.
I want you to stay.
I want you to be there for me.
'Cause I need your love.
I need your touch.
I long for your embrace.

This song always reminded me of When Love and Death Embrace from HIM. I was in love with both bands back in time. Entwine was easily the best goth metal band ever.
