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.
On October 1, 2012, Nightwish announced that they had parted ways with Olzon and would be finishing the tour with at that time ReVamp vocalist (ex-After Forever) Floor Jansen. In October 2013, Nightwish made Jansen and longtime session uilleann pipes player Troy Donockley permanent members of the band, and they were featured in the acclaimed album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, released on March 27, 2015. From 2014 to 2019, Nevalainen, while still a member of the band, was inactive due to severe insomnia issues; in July 2019, he announced that he would not be returning to the band, with Kai Hahto, who had acted as his replacement since 2014 (including by performing all drums on Endless Forms Most Beautiful), being promoted as the official drummer, and is featured as such at the ninth album, Human. :II: Nature., which was released internationally on April 10, 2020. After twenty years of performing with the band, it was announced that bassist Marko Hietala had parted ways with the band in January 2021. Jukka Koskinen was announced as Hietala's replacement to play bass during the tour. In August 2022, he was announced as a permanent member of the band.

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.
