Die Verdammte Hungersnot (The Damned Famine)

Hungry, hungry, all the Trolls are malnourished.
The famine has arrived to the Troll-village

Once upon a time, long, long ago
The Trolls had no food and felt bad
They want food, and they have plates
But no food, to put on the plates.

No food for the Trolls.

The famine has lasted long
Some Trolls are wandering about
The lack of food wears them down
More Trolls have sat down
They want food, and they have plates
But no food, to put on their plates.

No food for the Trolls.

The Trolls sit completely still
If no food will arrive
Roots will start to grow

Roots will grow
(The damnedfamine will ruin the tribe)

The Trolls sit completely still
If no food will arrive
Roots will start to grow

Roots will grow
(The damned famine will ruin the tribe)

They start to become lazy without their food.
They want meat, then life would turn out really great!

No food for the Trolls.

Karve

Five Trolls refuse to stay put witout their food.
They put their minds together.

Der JegerMeister, he cant stand still
And Grublegjøken is done standing still
The third Troll is Gegalte Gnagsår
And the fourth Troll is Brakebein

I got it, said Karve
We leave the forrest
We'll collect meat-pieces
And enough food for several plates

Four against one is bad odds
But Karve knows what he is doing

Der JegerMeister, he cant stand still
And Grublegjøken is done standing still
The third Troll is Gegalte Gnagsår
And the fourth Troll is Brakebein

I got it, said Karve
We leave the forrest
We'll collect meat-pieces
And enough food for several plates

Karve, the selfproclaimed leader for this gang of wrinkled Trolls, have no problems convincing the rest of them that this ingenious plan will lead them on the straightest course to achieve the greatest success!

I got it (he said it again) said Karve (the fifth member)
We leave (it happens again) the forrest (towards the east)
We'll collect (while the rest waits) meat-pieces (from christian flesh)
And enough food (and enough wine) for several plates (Yeeaaaah!!!!!)

Die Berüchtiges Bande (The Infamous Gang)

The infamous gang prepare to go
Put on a hat
Point it eastwards towards more christianed land
where they can eat priest-hide

Karve has made big plans
The Trolls are well satisfied.
They want to find a christian-magnet
That will draw a lot of food to the Troll-village
And shame on those who stand in the way

One Troll, two Trolls, that's how it goes
And that's how, three Trolls, four Trolls will follow Karves plan

The quintet of Trolls walk through forest
after forest and soon there was
no forest left, my friend,
now sand is becoming your water

The gang is thirsty, they hate sand
They want to find a watersource
or even better, a horn filled with mead or beer!

The Trolls want to drink
The dessert sucks worse than cabbage!

One Troll, two Trolls, that's how it goes
And that's how, three Trolls, four Trolls will follow Karves plan

The gang is thirsty, they hate sand
They want to find a watersource
or even better, a horn filled with mead or beer!

Gjetord (Rumours)

Get up, sad or not, oh no, hey hey
We'll find the way in a jiffy, so come with me

Karve stands and sniffs and he can feel his blood is boiling
He's listening for well known noises
And wouldn't you know, my Troll
The smell of christians from every direction
Up, up, up, my body
bring me to the closest hilltop!

Get up, sad or not, oh no, hey hey
We'll find the way in a jiffy, so come with me

Five pair of eyes see people dressed up as Christians everywhere
The water from the mouth is dripping and the drool flies all over
While they run and laugh in each of their direction
The hunger takes over, they are running blind
Time for gorging, finally some action.

And then the Trolls can finally eat, all around the priest
Then they eat the priest, he tastes a bit better than the rest
When they can't see Christians no more,
Then they know that their belly is full

Good and hearty, and delightfully full
They gather around Karves pot

Get up, sad or not, oh no, hey hey
We'll find the way in a jiffy, so come with me

Around the bonfire the Trolls are planning
They have heard rumours about a crusade and a holy Grail
from the christians. And they believe the Grail could be the Christian magnet
they need, because hungry Trolls are lame
With the Grail in the Troll-village the Christians will come there.

And then the Trolls can finally eat, all around the priest
Then they eat the priest, he tastes a bit better than the rest
When they can't see Christians no more,
Then they know that their belly is full

Good and hearty, and delightfully full
They gather around Karves pot

Get up, sad or not, oh no, hey hey
We'll find the way in a jiffy, so come with me

Der Sündenbock Gegalte (The Scapegoat Gegalte)

After a night of heavy planning, Karve and Grublegjøken concluded that since they ate most of the crusade nearby, it would probably be best to wait until another one came by. Possibly to locate the previous crusade, or even more likely in this case, the revenge. But this oportunity finally introduced a way to get rid of the whiny, bitching and bragging Gegalte Gnagsår. If the other Trolls would manage to convince the next crusade that Gegalte was the reason for the previous crusade's destruction, and allow them to punish the whiny, bitchy, bragging Troll, they would perhaps take on the mission and locate the Christian magnet, the Grale. Now all that remains is to wait, and wait, and wait some more, and then we'll sendt the whiny, bitchy, bragging piece of pork, Gegalte Gnagsår on his way.

Korstog (Crusade)

Early one morning, Gegalte was
out walking in the desert.
He had been expelled from the camp
because he always bragged so much about his "junior".

When he passes over a sand-dune
he's looking at a big army
filled with templars with crosses
on their chest and back, hideously ugly.
They want revenge. They found the leftovers
from the Trolls and are now out to hunt.

Gegalte Gnagsår doesn't understand
what kind of a trouble he is right in the middle of.
He's not smart enough to catch on to the situation,
and so he jumps up and heads out.
He runs straight for the center
without any doubt in mind.
But the templars are pissed, and
they slay him down after his attack.

He bleeds, eats some more, but then dies.
And then this weirdo is out of the story.

Meanwhile from the camp, Karve notice the smell
of the crusade who just killed Gegalte

He sends out two Trolls known from before
To observe what happends now

Grublegjøken and JegerMeister
Sneak in the desert.

When they pass over a sand-dune
they're looking at a big army
filled with templars with crosses
on their chest and back, hideously ugly.
They want revenge. They found the leftovers
of Gegalte and are soon out to hunt.

The crusade doesn't understand
how much trouble they are in.
They're not smart enough to catch on to the situation,
that's why they believe Gegalte was guilty.
The course is set towards the Grail,
The Crusade marches cheerfully on their way
But behind them are the Trolls, angry amd hungry,
Just waiting until they know that theur plan comes true.

Grublegjøken says to JegerMeister:
"we have to go and get Karve and Brakebein,
Then we'll all hunt down the holy Grail.
Maybe we could eat some of the Crusades tail?"

Undermålere (Fools)

Far behind the crusade the four Trolls are sitting
Gnawing on pre-eaten bones.
They have been pursuing the collection of religious fools
who think they will witness Gods grand will.
They believe that they are involved in Gods plan
and that they will all go to heaven and recieve rewards like when they were kids

Karve walks and thinks about home.
When the priest-folks find their Grail he can go home.
And no mercy for the once that slow them down.
Violence becomes his close friend.
Karve wants to return home to his own bed.

But first they need to follow the crusade,
The crusade will bring them to Jesus' Grail.
The Trolls can't reveal themselves just yet,
Because they have no idea what the holy Grail looks is.

They need Christians to tell them about the holy Grail
and where to find it. "Where can we find it?!"

JegerMeister has no patience left
he's soon on his way to annihilate the end-troops.

From the front of the crusade they hear joyfull cheering.
They have found the Grail!

The Trolls smile, they can finally eat.
The crusade has served its purpose.
Everyone runs towards the crusade,
Now they will get what they deserve.
The priests runs for the hills
Scattering like flees

The four Trolls run through the crusade
while they feed on living flesh.
They want the grail, templar out of the saddle
Where is the Grail?!
Fools, now you will feel the wrath of the Trolls!
Karves plan involves them all,
he beats them senseless.
"Give me the Grail now! Or you will pay!"

"Hand me the Grail, priestfucker!"

Jevnes med Jorden (Levelled with the ground)

Karve is holding the Grail
He is happy as few.
Jaaaaaahahahaha!!

Grubblegjøken needs to clear his mind now,
because he needs to leave clues,
to lure the Christians to follow the path to where the Trolls live.
Even though it hurts, they leave one temple still standing
while everything around it s being levelled with the ground.
Everything is torn down beyond reckognition.

Karve must enter the temple
draw a map on the Grail's pedestal.
It shall show the way towards the Troll-village
and leave promises of Grail and gold to those who come.

Grublegjøken carves symmbol of the Grail
on the temple walls with Christian teeth.
And then he takes all the food-leftovers
and sweeps them in under the sand.

Karve must enter the temple
draw a map on the Grail's pedestal.
It shall show the way towards the Troll-village
and leave promises of Grail and gold to those who come.

Grubblegjøken needs to clear his mind now,
because he needs to leave clues,
to lure the Christians to follow the path to where the Trolls live.
Even though it hurts, they leave one temple still standing
So Christians can believe in the holy path that leads to the holy grail,
but they're up for a surprise.

En Gammel Trollsti (An Ancient Trollpath)

Over the damned desertsand
Four Trolls wander with the Grail in their hand.
They laid their course now
Towards the forrest they shall all go

Here and there the Trolls leave clues,
a shield with a cross on it, good to get rid of it.
Maybe put a sword in a rock,
Will look like a cross, the christians will embrace it.
Here and there, along the straightest path,
they leave clues that the Christians will understand.
The path leads straight to the Troll-village,
they'll soon reach the forrest, it will be awesome!

When the Trolls arrive to the forrest
they carve crosses in the trees and the moss.
They direct everything towards an ancient Trollpath,
which leads straight to the Troll-village.
Brakebein says "Jippi!"

Home once again, all has become so quiet
Some have grown stuck, lost their will.
But Brakebein has brought food
The smell wakes up many Trolls, now they want to party!

Home once again, JegerMeister wants to tell the story
No one misses Gegalte Gnagsår.
Karve heads towards the anchient Trollpath
he wants to rig traps that will catch Christians.

Later a trap fires, it must the first
Christians who stepped into the trap.
The holy Grail works as a Christian magnet,
now we've got have plenty of food coming to us.

Snip, snap, snout, this tale's told out!
