The Mercenary and The Fallen Angel go to a tiebreaker.

____________

Yes, okay, so after a very poor choice IMO in the first round, we get on track by having a tie between the two songs that I think should have gone out first. So I don't particularly care which of these goes now so long as the other one goes next. That said, my vote goes to

The Fallen Angel
And if spirit's a sign,
Then it's only a matter of time

Geez guys, The Fallen Angel is easily in the top half of this album.

Though at this point badly-screwed-up rankings don't surprise me anymore, it's still annoying to see such a brilliant song leave while songs like The Wicker Man (also known as "Your time will come" x 1000000) stay in.

For me, The Fallen Angel is "could it be it's the end of the world" altogether too many times. Yeah The Wicker Man is repetitive, but at least the repetitive stuff is really good. The repetitive stuff in The Fallen Angel is just alright IMO.

Meh, at least The Fallen Angel has actual lyrics in its chorus, and while I agree that that's the weakest part of the song, the rest is great. I especially enjoy the solo.

The Wicker Man has a great main riff, and then it's just kind of there.

Eh. Agree to disagree. I don't think The Wicker Man should make consolations, or even the top half of the album, but Fallen Angel is the weakest one on the disc for me.

Absolutely The Mercenary, no question.

The Fallen Angel is a nice little catchy song.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

The Mercenary

They're almost equally good, though.

Uh yeah Wicker Man is hands-down my favorite on this disc, haters be damned. ;)

In this case it's a tough call, but I think Fallen Angel just edges Mercenary, making the latter my vote.

The Fallen Angel, all I hear is Shadows Of The Valley but less good. I know The Fallen Angel came first, but I really do prefer Shadows Of The Valley way more.
