[Verse 1] They tell me “boy, there ain’t no such thing as trolls,” Just fairy tales to spook your weary soul. But I’ve seen footprints bigger than my shoes, And a broken horn buried in the mud as proof. [Chorus] If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s killin’ unicorns? Magic don’t just vanish, it don’t die without a war. If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s leavin’ all these bones? Tell me why the meadow feels colder than stone. [Verse 2] Whispers in the forest, shadows on the ridge, Something’s lurkin’ hungry underneath that bridge. You can laugh and call it just a bedtime song, But the unicorns are dyin’, so somebody’s wrong. [Chorus] If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s killin’ unicorns? Magic don’t just vanish, it don’t die without a war. If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s leavin’ all these bones? Tell me why the meadow feels colder than stone. [Bridge – funky guitar lick & call-and-response] 🎶 “Ain’t no trolls” — that’s what they say, 🎶 “Ain’t no trolls” — but the horns don’t decay. 🎶 “Ain’t no trolls” — well, I’m startin’ to believe, That the monsters we deny are the ones that never leave. [Final Chorus – bigger, groovier, gang vocals] If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s killin’ unicorns? Magic don’t just vanish, it don’t die without a war. If there ain’t no trolls, then who’s leavin’ all these bones? Somebody tell the story, ‘cause I don’t wanna die alone.
