The song appeared on the band's demo, which had a limited release in 2006 and was later sold through Amberian Dawn's forum and Facebook group in December 2010.

Lyricist Heidi Parviainen has said about the song, "Virvatulen Laulu is a sad love story of a man and a friar´s lantern - a light that shines upon a pond in the night.

"Tailsman", "Come Now Follow", "Arctica", "Ghostly Echoes", "Sampo", "Blackbird", "Field Of Serpents", "City Of Corruption" and "War in Heaven" are featured as downloadable songs on the Rock Band Network.
