According to a diary entry posted to the official Nightwish website by the new vocalist on May 13 2007, 'Eva' is a soft, sad, emotional song. [ [http://www.nightwish.com/en/band/reports?c=7 Nightwish - The Official Website ] ] A sample of 'Eva' has been posted on the internet with the following lyrics: "She walks alone but not without her name. Eva flies away, dreams the world far away. In this cruel children's game, there's no friend to call her name". [http://www.box.net/index.php?rm=box_v2_mp3_player_shared&node=f_63699470]
