Bygden står stilla, en stjärklar natt
En eld fjärran skådas, ty de närmar sig

Fram rider trollens kung
Med vargabroder ut på jakt
Allt levade flyr, fä och frände
Blodet skall dränka denna ensliga trakt

Utav mörket I sin eviga sal,
Han ger sig ut, en törst att släcka
Skyndar de fram på krokiga ben,
Flera liv att tas, hundra ben att knäcka

Trollherrens sällskap river sig fram,
Genom dyster skog och fruset fjäll
Dräper vad de ser och finner allt gömt,
Huvuden ska pryda deras heliga häll

Så står trakten dyster och mörk,
Sponsored links

Solen stiger inget liv att skåda
Underjorden firar lyckad jakt,
Sedan igen för sekler tystnad råda

Ve dig människa du inkräktar här,
Snart trollen dig till hällen bär

Fram rider trollens kung
Med vargabroder ut på jakt
Allt levade flyr, fä och frände
Blodet skall dränka denna ensliga trakt

Utav mörket I sin eviga sal,
Han ger sig ut, en törst att släcka
Skyndar de fram på krokiga ben,
Flera liv att tas, hundra ben att knäcka

    If memory serves, it is about when the Troll King goes out to hunt.

    Excellent. In that case:

    "... The village is quiet, a starlit night ... ... A distant fire is seen, for they are drawing near ...

    The king of trolls rides forth To hunt with his wolven brother Everything living flees, friend and foe Blood will soak these secluded grounds

    From the darkness in his eternal halls He goes out with a thirst to quench They are hurried forth on crooked legs Many lives to take, a hundred bones to break

    The party of the trollmaster tear their way through gloomy forests and frozen mountains They slay what they see and find everything hidden Heads will soon adorn their holy rock (hm)

    The area is gloomy and dark The sun rises, there is no life left Below ground they celebrate a successful hunt Once again silence reigns for centuries

    (Woe betide you, human, you are trespassing The trolls will soon drag you to the rock ...)"

    It could also mean "hearth", instead of "rock", but I dunno.

    The first two lines are not singed (not in the beggining, that is sure), :P... is only a great example of Yoik, made, I guess, by Järvelä, the singer of Korpiklaani, :D

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
