V5.5

[Verse 1] Deep in the pine where the cold winds bite, A maiden wandered by flickering light. Her tune was bright as the dawn-touched sea, But laughter rumbled in crooked tree. [Pre-chorus] Horn blows hollow, branches moan, Old grave stories wake in stone. [Chorus] Raise the mug, let tankards pound, Hear the forest spin around. Drums of earth and voices hail, Wild hearts roaring through the gale. Twist of fate in moonlit veil, The Troll and the Maiden… one shall prevail. [Verse 2] He tore from rock with a roaring cheer, A mountain troll with an ale-stained sneer. He stomped the ground, claimed her hand, His laughter shook all root and land. [Pre-chorus] Horn blows hollow, branches moan, Old grave stories wake in stone. [Chorus] Raise the mug, let tankards pound, Hear the forest spin around. Drums of earth and voices hail, Wild hearts roaring through the gale. Twist of fate in moonlit veil, The Troll and the Maiden… one shall prevail. [Verse 3] She raised her voice like a burning star, A spell-song rolling from near to far. It split the rock, made his veins ignite, His roar turned fear in the dancing night. [Pre-chorus] Horn blows hollow, branches moan, Old grave stories wake in stone. [Chorus] Raise the mug, let tankards pound, Hear the forest spin around. Drums of earth and voices hail, Wild hearts roaring through the gale. Twist of fate in moonlit veil, The Troll and the Maiden… one shall prevail. [Verse 4] Now flames burn low where they danced their doom, The forest whispers her rebel tune. His broken name haunts the hillside stone, Her shadow feasts where the seeds are sown. [Solo] [Bridge] Stamp the ground – the clan shall hear, Mead and blood – both rough and dear. Bone and bark – the drums proclaim, A maiden’s laugh, a troll’s wild name. [Final Chorus] Raise the mug, let tankards pound, Hear the forest spin around. Drums of earth and voices hail, Wild hearts roaring through the gale. Twist of fate in moonlit veil, The Troll and the Maiden… one shall prevail. Raise the mug, let thunder sound, Troll and ghost in circle bound. Under stars where fires scale, Roaring legends never pale. Twist of fate in moonlit veil, The Troll and the Maiden… one shall prevail.
