Trollhammaren (English) Lyrics
"The Troll-Hammer"
Among shadows rides a beast
Like a black tree.
Grips tightly on a mighty hammer,
Out for weak Christian blood.
TROLL-HAMMER!
TROLL-HAMMER!
The Troll-Hammer sweeps again!
Cut down, brother again!
Hear the last shout -
The Troll-Hammer is here!
TROLL-HAMMER!
He is not a human
Not fragile and weak like you.
You will be powerless,
No eyes see your end.
TROLL-HAMMER!
TROLL-HAMMER!
Since the darkness overtook
It is afraid of the frost's cold fingers
That take hold and kill
Under the coming winter night.
TROLL-HAMMER!
TROLL-HAMMER!
TROLL-HAMMER!
Like a black tree.
Grips tightly on a mighty hammer,
Out for weak Christian blood.
TROLL-HAMMER!
Cut down, brother again!
Hear the last shout -
The Troll-Hammer is here!
Not fragile and weak like you.
You will be powerless,
No eyes see your end.
TROLL-HAMMER!
It is afraid of the frost's cold fingers
That take hold and kill
Under the coming winter night.
TROLL-HAMMER!
TROLL-HAMMER!

Thanks for the English, Silver_Rose. I don't think this song requires any explanation; if you know anything about Finntroll, you know that their common theme is mighty trolls devouring priests and terrorizing villages, etc. Hell yeah!
oh my word, i think i dont want the english lyrics now.
Considering it is apparent that you can barley speak english, I can understand why.

"Under the coming winter night." is poorly translated.. the swedish text is: "Underkommaren e her", which literally means "the undertaker is here", which is a reference to a warrior/king/enemy
Except the line is "Under kommande vinternatt."
Which loosely translates into something like: "During the coming winter night"
amazing GODLY yummmm YUMMMM
I definitely hear "vinternatt", which makes more sense in a verse about being afraid of the cold. "The undertaker is here" would just be a non sequitur.
