Wake up dead in an unknown room,
I can tell the sun will rise soon.
Nothing here but a few old chairs,
And a set of wooden stairs.
I hear a noise and I begin to fear,
Someone whispers in my cold, dead ear.
As I turn I see a smile,
And I'm told to stay a while.
I reach for the light and the stairwell creaks,
I'm not alone in the dark.
One more creak and the sound of a voice,
Someone's behind that door.
As I make my way down the spiral stairs,
A light begins to appear.
With every step I take, the laughter grows,
And haunting voices draw near
Behind the door, people sing and dance.
And as I reach the floor, something grabs my hand.
Into the room I walk, there's silence and a snore,
I turn my head and try to run away.
Restricted in the room, I look back once more,
Where the skeletons are urging me to stay.
I sit down at a stool, and a drink's set at the bar,
And an apparition sets his hand on me.
He tells me about a tale, and reaches for his ale.
Then looks away and says to me,
All will meet at the haunted saloon.

Lyrics by Colin Ryley
This album is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite album of all time. Lyrically magnificent, musically phenomenal, and the plot is one of the most well constructed things I've ever seen, being both coherent and deep. Don't miss up on the chance to listen to this beast, it is truly incredible. iamtherevenant
The EP is pretty much what happens when you put Wintersun and Ensiferum together, and that's what makes it awesome! Epic, folky, and melodic, you would think that this had come straight out of Finland! Even if it didn't, it's still an amazing release, as Dean Arnold's skills in songcraft prove themselves to be quite superb indeed. ZekeNigma
