“Gather around my friends, as we speak in Taverns of old, exchanging hands of gold.. harken! To this Tale!" Deep in the forests of Germany, laying hidden and unseen. Where not many travelled and few have ever been There is a troll there that the locals curse and fear But his greatest crime is that of drinking all their beer There is no death here and there is no toll Welcome to the lair of the Wunderbar Troll Sleeping all night and drinking all day Laying and resting in beds made of hay Come join me friend in singing this song And we’ll dance 'round fires all winter long Wunderbar troll! Wunderbar troll! One night the locals plotted against the troll they wrongly hate They decided that this be the night they surely seal his fate Gathering knives and farming tools they marched into the night Now unto the troll of wonder they wreak their hellish might There is soon to be death here he will pay the toll None of them shall mourn you, oh Wunderbar Troll Sleeping all night and drinking all day Laying and resting in beds made of hay Come join me friend in singing this song And we'll dance 'round fires all winter long Wunderbar troll! Wunderbar troll! And as they entered into his home Flaying flesh and breaking bone They struck him, until he couldn't scream And kicking his corpse and smashing his skull Now begins a trollish cull The start from man shall now soon be their end Sleep now my friend as your soul rests in hell Troll angels singing your final farewell Now we will join you in singing this song And we will remember you all winter long Wunderbar troll! Wunderbar troll! We will remember you Wunderbar troll!
3.	Goblins!!!!! 03:47	lyrics
Oh, the goblins strike tonight! Biting, fighting, crushing, smiting Fearless goblins slaying Vikings Another victory for them now to sing Crashing, killing, snapping, crunching The way they gorge truly disgusting Marching now to kill the coward king Goblins fill the halls with screams Against you all the hordes will teem They’ll find you and gleely tear you at the seams Try run and hide In fear you confide You they shall find And then they will bind You're dead They’ll take your head Your skin they will peel On your knees you shall kneel Running out of time Bodies oozing with slime The feast Ravenous like beasts Goblins fill the grassland plains To soon fill you with utmost pain You’re not prepared, this is the end And then together we sing again Oh, the goblins strike tonight! Hating, cursing, swearing, cussing Goblins surely up to nothing More heads home they surely wish to bring Stabbing, laughing, bleeding, gutting Violence they are surely loving Sliced right through your thin life’s strings Goblins fill the halls with screams Against you all the hordes will teem They’ll find you and gleely tear you at the seams Final call No time to stall They have arrived You have survived But not for long As the goblins strong Take you now Goblins fill the grassland plains To soon fill you with utmost pain You’re not prepared, this is the end And together, oh, we sing again Oh, the goblins strike tonight OH, THE GOBLINS STRIKE TONIGHT!
4.	Sorrows Song 03:06	lyrics
Howling to the wind Like a wolf cries to the moon I now stare forth at thee In the hopes you'll one day see The break of dawn marks my end A message of sorrow is what I send I sing my sorrows song For the the ages long So tie my neck and bend me down My final words cannot be drowned We were brothers in times of need but golden lands have been turned to greed So end my sorrow, oh, so fast Until my pain is gone and passed I hear this sorrows song Oh, for the ages long Hear my sorrows song For all the ages long Hear this sorrows song For all the ages long These words aren't carried to my grave For your souls I'll try to save For not before too long You'll sing your sorrows song
5.	A World of Tales 03:57	lyrics
A story to be told Is what lies within Of heroes proud and bold To far away dwelling djinn This world is full of them Tales to be heard But from ideas they stem To soon be shared Rise up This is your tale Charge now Or else you will fail Tall now we watch you once more and tell now of deeds we foresaw I beckon to you child Take my guiding hand For I will show you men Of these forsaken lands From knights of honour To minstrel imps of hell Or goblin soldier slaughter These stories we do tell A world of tales in which we live It's time now to make your own Sir Magnus: “Stranger, you tell me of stories within. You call yourself two of the last Kazkariv.” Kazkariv: “That is our title we were born to bear. And yes, it is tales with you we intend to share” Sir Magnus: “I Sir Magnus have a story of my own. I hold the sword from which the purest light has grown.” Kazkariv: “You will soon know that your stories have no end. Now go for it's your people that you must defend.” This World of tales we reside With whom it is we side In this world of tales we must decide Shall we hold the light A world of tales in which we live Fables of which you have been shown So hear me knight so bold Before your tale is told We will watch forever more Show us what you have in store From Knights of honour To minstrel imps of hell Or goblin soldier slaughter These stories we do tell A world of tales in which we live It's time now to make your own A world of tales in which we live Fables of which you have been shown
6.	A Hero's Tale 02:04	lyrics
We came from the mountains, we came from the plains We came to the land where the demons remain We came with our sword and our spears We came to end all of your fears They came from the ground made from ashes and dirt They came to spread all their lies and their hurt They came for all of these years The demons, they came to bring tears Oh, we thought we’d seen it all How far from grace we’d surely fall The demons they came To drive us insane But back our old lives we will claim We fastened our helms and raised up our shields And march on forth to now blackened fields We face off the demons once more But this time it's not like before Firing arrows of light into enemy's ranks The horsemen charge west in order to flank The demons diminish to few And then all the demons we slew Of our story the bards will tell We’ll send those demons back to hell The demons they came To drive us insane But back our old lives we did claim For our long lost Brothers this day We have slayeth Demons this way And we'll fight on For our world that we live on Of our story the bards will tell We’ll send those demons back to hell The demons they came To drive us insane But back our old lives we did claim
