In May 2007, Nightwish announced Anette Olzon as Turunen's replacement. That September, the band released their sixth album, Dark Passion Play, which has sold almost 2 million copies. The album's lead single, "Amaranth", became one of Nightwish's most successful in Europe. The supporting tour, one of the band's largest, started on October 6, 2007, and ended on September 19, 2009. The band released an EP/live album, Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places), in March 2009 as a CD/DVD, and their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum, was released globally on various days in late 2011/early 2012.

She Is My Sin
Nightwish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She can touch nor me nor you
Dressed as one a wolf will betray a lamb
Lead astray the gazers
The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower's a perfect one
To paradise with pleasure haunted
Haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
I am the fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative as its discovery
To paradise with pleasure haunted
Haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God, I must confess, I do envy the sinners
A sin for him
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
Nightwish's "She Is My Sin" is a song that explores the topic of sin, desire, and temptation. The lyrics speak of a woman who is a seductress, luring men into her world of sinful thoughts and desires. The singer warns that her touch is dangerous and can lead to destruction, for she lures her prey in like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The lyrics evoke the imagery of a meadow, where every flower is perfect and every thought is sinfully tempting. The singer speaks of being haunted by fear while being drawn towards the paradise of pleasure that the seductress offers. The song is a warning against the dangers of succumbing to our deepest, darkest desires and loving our own sin.
