Send "Iron" Ringtone to Cell

The silence breakes the ground A shadow is riding the horizon An arcane man arrives to town Remoresless and condemned Tasted the snake's poison Broken every bone Twelve thousand gunshot wounds But there's nothing that whiskey can't cure Ride Through the crossfire Ride Through the flames, like a predator in the night The eagles fly into eternal sunset The heroes die, dying for their pride Awoken to heavy galloping I heard the blasting whiplash Eyes are filled with lust to kill Beware, he's crying out your name Now the time has come When the Iron tears the heart And the trumpets will ring loudly As the stars are painted with blood Blazing fire under the moon Burning taste of lead We'll ride forever Cause' the Iron is stronger than death

    General Comment:I dunno I think "arcane man" refers to a wizard so that kinda goes against your western theory.

    General Comment:Its Pretty frikken obvious...I mean its apparent that this song is about Gunslinger(s) and/or outlaws and a whole western theme. Even the music suggests it like that parts at 1:32(heard the blasting whiplash...Whip sounds ensue)...2:15 Just the music is enough to tell you. Other examples:
    "Awoken to heavy galloping
    I heard the blasting whiplash"

    "Tasted the snake's poison
    broken every bone
    Felt a thousand gunshot wounds
    but there's nothing that whiskey can't cure"

    Its Pretty obvious...

    General Comment:ye, slaying an enemy, plain and simple, kind of their theme throughout their songs.

    i fully agree with falcoh, this band is one of the most diverse and talented metal bands in existence. trying to play this stuff on guitar is a nice challenge.

    General Comment:Ensiferum is one of the most unappreciated metal bands EVER. Their skills are insane, and the music rocks. Their lyrics are pretty typical epic/viking metal stuff. Music is still awesome as hell.
