Nightwish: Bless The Child Meaning

Bless The Child Lyrics

"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.

   The lyrics and video of the song do not seem to correspond to each other,but I think it is about 2 people who are in love, and eventually get married against everyone's wishes(the empty Church in the video),and for some reason, the boy kills the girl, and either out of fear or guilt, commits suicide. The sequence of events are shown in a retrospective manner,i.e., from what happens in the end to what happens at the beginning.
