Erämaan Viimeinen (Finnish: Amaranth Army) is a single by Finnish symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish, released on December 5, 2007. It is the same song as the instrumental “Last of the Wilds” from the band’s last album Dark Passion Play, but with Finnish lyrics and Jonsu from Indica on vocals, and became the third single of the album after “Amaranth”. It was followed by “Bye Bye Beautiful” on February 15, 2008. The single was, like their earlier single “Kuolema tekee taiteilijan”, never released outside of Finland, where it peaked at number one in the charts.

The song is also included on the Platinum Edition of Dark Passion Play.[1]
