The Last Ballad of Damrod Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In humid mold, troll sits alone
No friend or kin to call his own
Troll gnaws on skins, raw shanks and shins
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone
With laughter deep and throaty groan
He rises from his seat of stone
From darkened cave, a bloodlust crave
Set loose upon the hills to roam

[Chorus]
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)

[Verse 2]
Now the battle horn has blown
From final fight he has been shown
To darkened cave, a bloodless grave
He sits with heart, a hardened stone
In humid mold, troll sits alone
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone
Troll gnaws on skins, raw shanks and shins
No friend or kin to call his own

[Chorus]
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)

[Outro]
Troll turns foe flesh to meat

[Verse 1]
In humid mold, troll sits alone
No friend or kin to call his own
Troll gnaws on skins, raw shanks and shins
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone
With laughter deep and throaty groan
He rises from his seat of stone
From darkened cave, a bloodlust crave
Set loose upon the hills to roam

[Chorus]
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)

[Verse 2]
Now the battle horn has blown
From final fight he has been shown
To darkened cave, a bloodless grave
He sits with heart, a hardened stone
In humid mold, troll sits alone
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone

No friend or kin to call his own

[Chorus]
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)
Snap go the bones (Snap, snap)
Crunch go the teeth (Crunch, crunch)
Troll cracking spines (Crack, crack)
Beneath his feet (Crunch, crunch)

[Outro]
Troll turns foe flesh to meat

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
