Comment

A jolly song of how a Northern troll has fun. A song for Somnium of Finntroll (R.I.P.). See, he is not just a troll but their king. Look at these gleaming ice statues on his borders, aren’t they so lovely? And it does not matter that they were alive some time ago. They chose to follow the call of the king themselves. Thanks to she who did not come and made me feel a cold that chills to the marrow. Each verse corresponds to certain rune of slowing down (see the first lines). (A.S.)

This one may be called black metal, especially if account ten guitar tracks in the best manner of Burzum. It may be called a Northern folk song if account the choir of ten McReddins in the middle of it. Somehow or other, the hardest task was to record tin whistle and jew harp, since it was done with the rented pro equipment but at home. The first line (whispered by Iana) cites Aldhissla by Finntroll. (D.P.)

Lyrics

"Evigt liv tecken av kraft"

Bridges of ice the women going
Women go because I called them
Frozen statues in the lines
Make my borders gleam and shine

Welcome lady be my queen
Frost will penetrate your skin
‘ternal beauty’ll be my gift
Since you’d come across my rift

I’m the king of northern trolls
Decorating icy halls
Welcome guest here is your home
Does not matter where you’re from

Fields of snow the children going
Children go because I called them
Frozen statues little toys
Make my garden full of joy

Welcome baby close your eyes
All your nightmares - only lies
‘ternal game will be my gift
Since you’d come across my rift

I’m the king of northern trolls
Decorating icy halls
Welcome guest here is your home
Does not matter where you’re from

Walls of hail the warriors going
Warriors go because I called them
Frozen statues faces long
Make my fortress good and strong

Welcome sir you’re tired of war
What you’ve fought for’s nothing more
‘ternal strength will be my gift
Since you’d come across my rift

I’m the king of northern trolls
Decorating icy halls
Welcome guest here is your home
Does not matter where you’re from
