The Kazkariv wish to prove their power to Sir Magnus and do so with a tale of their long lost friend the Wunderbar Troll. A poor soul from Germany who was killed through rumor and the fear of man as opposed to any real misdeed.
lyrics
“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!
