Down to the dungeon where riches wait
These four heroes seek their fate
Fighter, wizard, bard, and thief descend into the darkened keep
Unknown treasures there to reap
In the shadows they will find
Snares and traps are set and primed
A shower of steel fired from the walls
Perils wait throughout the halls
A shower of steel, arrows from the walls
Will they endure the pitfalls?
The gold defended by guardians wretched
Unwelcome visiters they are
In the shadows they will find
Snares and traps are set and primed
A shower of steel fired from the walls
Perils wait throughout the halls
A shower of steel, arrows from the walls
Will they endure the pitfalls?
Their torches flicker and voices bicker
Stone door opens before their eyes
Down to the chanmber, first goes the Ranger
Treasure first to reach his sight
In the shadows they will find
Snares and traps are set and primed
A shower of steel fired from the walls
Perils wait throughout the halls
A shower of steel, arrows from the walls
Will they endure the pitfalls?

Crypt of Blades

Golden coins in hand, the thief has laid an evil plan
The corruption, a curse, his mind taking a turn for the worse
Cold-blooded betrayal, to leave his party to die
The wizard knows of his vice, his fate decided with roll of the dice
Another victim has fallen prey to the Crypt of Blades
The cursed treasure takes another life inside the Crypt of Blades
Corrosive powers leading men astray within the Crypt of Blades
Another victim has fallen prey to the Crypt of Blades
Spells and swords in the dark, the torches reignited with a spark
The thief has disappeared, into the tunnels he has steered
Consumed with greed, through the depths he did lead
His former comrades lured to their deaths, done at the curse's behest

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
